We have a 10.7 Federated Environment set up. We are looking for a way to publish feature services and have an external client edit those services. Right now the data is in a SQL Server 17 database and our Portal uses Windows Active Directory as our Identity Store. Our client has an instance of Portal set up and we are trying to avoid creating an External Window Active Directory account for them if possible. If we use Distributed Collaboration, can they access and edit the services without needing a login account for our Portal? Thanks Tiger ... View more

We have an SDE on SQL Server 17. A user is connecting to the database via OS Authentication using ArcMap 10.7. For them, as they validate topology, the extent at which the validation works is becoming smaller and smaller. At first the validation works at all scales but at some point they are unable to validate at full extent. They are able to edit and save edits on the feature classes for which they are validating topology so it doesn't seem like this is truly a permissions issue. Any ideas?   Update: So we tested using a database connection to the SDE (that is using the SDE account rather than OS). Things are working correctly now. Confirmed that data was loaded and topology was created using the database connection. Is there a Topology table, or something like that, where we need to apply the correct permissions? ...

We are currently running a federated ArcGIS Enterprise 10.7.1 environment (windows on-prem). Our projects are generally multi-user and contains several REST services. If a user wants to overwrite a service that was not originally published by them, we have two options: 1. An administrator needs to change service ownership to the user looking to overwrite 2. We create a pseudo-admin role and assign the role to specific users who can then overwrite service ownership One major downside to option 2 is if a user is granted any admin privileges, they now have full administrative access to the GIS Server. For example, they can change the Primary Site Administrator account credentials. Idea: Allow creators/publishers (or another OOTB role) to overwrite any service, without needing admin privileges or being the service owner This functionality existed for publisher user types in 10.5 standalone ArcGIS Server. For example, a publisher could overwrite any service regardless of who originally published the service. ... View more

Using a Federated 10.7.1 environment here. We have map service published to the GIS Server. How can someone overwrite an existing service that is owned by someone else? We have a team of people working on a project with multiple services. All users are set to the Creator role with Publisher user type. From a productivity standpoint, we do not want to have to change ownership for services each time a new person needs to overwrite. What is the correct workflow for overwriting a service owned by someone else? ... View more
