How to Update Portal Sharing Settings in Python

I have a script that updates geocoders every month and publishes them to our enterprise portal. When this happens I have to manually change the sharing settings to "everyone" for it to be accessible in our public school finder. If I forget to to do this, I get emails saying that the app is asking users to log into the portal. Is there a way to set the sharing settings for a service in Python?

Might give this method a try arcgis.gis.Item.share when you upload it.

Should be something like youritem.share(everyone=True)

Thanks. Would my item be the service ID? I tried service name, but it won't accept a string.

... might have gotten tripped up on 'item' and what what it is according to the Docs description.  If you are uploading layers, maybe the update method's item_properties parameter is where to set it.

yourItem.update(item_properties={"access" : "public"})

Revisiting this issue. I'm following the docs, but it's not working. I run these lines at the end of my script, but the service still says "The Item is not shared" in the portal. 

portal = GIS("https://<ourserver>/arcgis", "user", "password")
locator = portal.content.get('<itemID>')
locator.update(item_properties={"access" : "public"})

I have the same issue. It always sets sharing to 'private'. 

@LeviCecil has there been any update on your ticket? 

 

Thanks!

I did not end up opening a ticket, as I stopped regular updates of the locator.

Thanks for the reply @LeviCecil ! 

 

I found a work around using the "shareItems" call. 

Here is my code:

#get the token from the 'gis' object
token = gis._con.token
#build the URL
url = '{0}/sharing/rest/content/users/<userWhoOwnsItem>/shareItems?f=json&token={1}'.format(gis.url, token)
#using the Python 'Requests" module, send the request to the REST API directly.
updateSharing = requests.post(url, data={"items": "<id(s) go here>", "org": "true"})

I hope this helps someone!
