I can replicate this issue. It's kind of weird that Esri would allow a user to delete their own account through the rest endpoint (this is the case even when not using a custom role and just using a viewer user type and role). Luckily, it appears the changes the user can make are isolated to their own account and not anyone else. Also, it appears that the user isn't allowed to do other things, like create groups, etc. which is good. With that being said, in my opinion, Esri allowing a viewer only user type (or an account with a role without administrative privileges) to delete their own account is an explicit violation of Esri's own security roles. If the role privilege below is disabled, Esri should not allow that user to be able to delete any accounts, not even their own. On a side note, if you don't want people having access to the portal rest endpoint at all, you can always disable it. https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/11.5/administer/windows/disabling-the-arcgis-portal-directory.htm

What do you mean by you want to run the python externally? Does that mean you do not want to use ArcPy since that requires ArcGIS Pro (even if you run it completely outside of ArcGIS Pro)? If you're fine using ArcPy, @DanPatterson's solution should work since you can set that parameter in the Python script.

I'm preparing for an upgrade to 11.5 myself, so I've been reading all the various documentation for each version and see they added some ports that need to be open for Portal to work. In 11.3, ports 7820, 7830, and 7840 need to be open. You might want to verify those ports are open on your machine.

I tried to replicate your exact same settings to see if I could get it to not allow me to disable sync, but no matter what I do, it allows me to disable it. So I'm not sure why it won't let you disable it.

The reason you can only add new features is because "Enable sync" is enabled on the feature layer settings page. You will need to disable it in order for the "update features" button to be selectable when updating the feature layer.

The answer might depend on your DBMS. What type of database is your data in? An enterprise geodatabase, file geodatabase, etc.? If it is an enterprise geodatabase, I believe you can setup a trigger in the DB that triggers when a new record is inserted into the table that will write that record to the other table. Unfortunately, I don't think automatically copying records from one table to another upon insert of a new record is something that is possible in a file geodatabase, but someone might be able to correct me if I'm wrong. My best advice for that scenario would be to create a model or script that periodically syncs the original table with the cloned table. On a side note, I don't know what your use case is for creating the "cloned" table, but if it's just for the purpose of sorting, you can just create a "copy" of the layer in the table of contents in ArcGIS Pro and change the sorting that way. That way you have two different layers in the map with different sorting, but they are both using the same source table so you don't have to deal with two different copies of the same table. Meaning that any updates you make in that table will be reflected in all copies you made in the table of contents.

Oh, gotcha. I was just providing a potential workaround since I thought you weren't able to export the attachments at all. I'm not sure if attachments are supported through Hub or not. I can't find anything in Esri's documentation about that either.

‎01-07-2026

It says right on the page you linked that if you want a copy of the data with attachments, that you need to contact them. With that being said, the source data is just a REST service, so you can always just add it to ArcGIS Pro and then use the Export Table tool to export the data with attachments into a FGDB.

I had a problem similar to that last year. It's a slightly different scenario, but the solution in this post might help you. Also, you can try resetting the app in Windows Settings. Open Windows Settings and go to Apps > Installed Apps > ArcGIS Survey123 Connect > Advanced Options and then click the reset button.

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were asking how to specify the join type (LEFT, INNER, etc.). I'm not able to find any documentation about that either. But, now I'm curious so I took a deep dive into it. I looked at the internet traffic and compared the requests for one to one vs. one to many, and I did notice some differences. Often times, the API parameters will match the internet requests. So if I can see what the internet request is doing, I might be able to track it back to the API. For example, I am able to see the "Type" parameter (for the join type) in the internet request. In the case of the join operation, I'm not seeing anything obvious (like where it is explicitly called out). However, this is added in the request for a one to one join operation. "topFilter":{"groupByFields":"FieldName","orderByFields":"OBJECTID ASC","topCount":1}}] Besides that, everything is the same for one to one vs. one to many. So.....looking at the relatedTables documentation you provided, there is a groupByFields parameter. So, you might be able to specify the groupByFields parameter (to the field name of the child table) and it's possible Esri will treat it as one to one. And if you don't specify it, it might treat it as one to many by default. With all that being said......Esri should definitely make that option easily available like they do with the join type. There's no guarantee that anything I said will work and correctly specify the join operation, but it's something to look into.

Does this tech support article help any? If you go to step 6, you can see how they specify the join type (in the case of the example, it is a LEFT join). https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/how-to-create-a-joined-hosted-feature-layer-view-using--000032931

You'll know what time the sync takes place by looking in the logs. It'll be easiest to search through the text log files on the machine itself instead of through Server Manager. Just do a search for "synchronizing" in the text file and you should be able to find it. You said this was happening around 7:30AM, so I'd say that would be a good place to start looking. The full log message is: "The server machine 'machine name' is synchronizing with the site. This will take a few minutes and during this operation all administrative operations will be blocked." If you're not able to find that message in the logs when the issue is happening, then you have a different issue. Regarding the Data Store, I don't think that should cause an ArcGIS Server outage. That should only cause an issue with the Data Store itself.

Yeah, the root cause of the issue for us is that the two ArcGIS Servers were running on two different EC2 instance types. I forgot what they were, but for example, one was a general computing type, and the other was a compute optimized type. Basically, all ArcGIS Server machines in the site need to have the exact same resources (EC2 instance type, CPU, RAM, etc.). I forgot exactly how it was explained to me, but basically, the ArcGIS Server would be processing requests at different speeds, and because one was slower than the other, it would think one of the machines was temporarily offline which would result in the server having to sync with the site again. In your case however, it is odd that it is happening at the exact same time every day. It would happen at random times during the day for us, mainly during high usage. If you have the exact same EC2 instance specs for both ArcGIS Server machines, I'd try looking at the ArcGIS Server logs right before the sync happens to see if you find any suspicious messages in the logs that might help narrow down the issue.

Are your viewers able to edit the data directly in the web map viewer instead of through Experience Builder? I suspect that viewers are completely blocked from editing public data in Experience Builder, but not the web map viewer. But I'm not 100% sure on that. It's possible that viewers are blocked from editing in Experience Builder since the editing is being done through a widget and not directly through the map. That's my best guess on what's going on.

‎12-09-2025

I don't believe this is possible in just the web map itself, but it is possible by using the measurement tool in Experience Builder starting with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4+ or the ExB Developer edition 1.5+. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-ideas/allow-snapping-in-measure-tool-for-experience/idi-p/1299681
