Thomas: Thanks again for the feedback. I'm the only one using ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Pro. However, you have given me some fuel for thought, and I have to revisit other permissions around ArcGIS Server and Portal. The part that confuses me though is that I'm still able to publish from ArcGIS Desktop...just not in ArcGIS Pro. Thanks again...I'll approach this from your angle and see where it leads.

Thomas: Thanks for the feedback...most appreciated. I have not yet installed the data store, but our ArcGIS Server and Portal are federated; hence, I have been publishing directly from ArcMap to our Portal. I am the Portal administrator so I guess that makes me a member of the publishing group. Our ArcGIS Server and Portal were recently upgraded to version 10.6 (including ArcGIS Desktop), and my ArcGIS Pro has been upgraded to 2.2. The SQL Server version I'm using is whatever came with version 10.6. I just find it odd that I can connect to our geodatabase and Portal through ArcGIS Pro, but for some reason I get permission issues with publishing...but only from ArcGIS Pro (I can still publish from ArcMap).

Dan: Thanks for your response (and links)...most appreciated and most helpful. The only ESRI reference I found online that refers to rotating a feature class was this one: Rotating a feature—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop I certainly could not get it to work. Had that worked I would have been finished a lot earlier today. However, a workaround that I found was the Convert Features To Graphics function: Converting features into graphics—Help | ArcGIS Desktop, and then I was able to rotate the graphic. Thankfully, there is also a Convert Graphics to Features function: Converting graphics into features—Help | ArcGIS Desktop so I was able to get it back into a feature after it was rotated. You don't want to know how long it took me to find that workaround LOL....and I still don't know if this is how it should really be done. This project was priority too so I ended up working late to get this ready for the big meeting. Thanks again...I will be sure to read up on those links you sent as I have to stay on top of this.

I'm using ArcGIS 10.6 Advanced, and have both 3D Analyst and Spatial Analyst extensions. The feature class is a set of contiguous polygons created from a raster bathymetric data set consisting of 5394 polygons. These polygons are going to be used to create a clip feature class. However, I need to rotate this feature class by about 5° so when I perform the clip the resulting features will be more horizontal when used with the current orthophoto. The problem I'm having is getting the Rotate tool to activate, and then rotate the feature class...it's grayed out. I have been doing this in the data view (as opposed to the layout view). The anchor point shows up when I edit the feature class and all of the polygons are selected, but there's just no tool available to rotate. One should be able to rotate a feature class, correct? I have tried searching for others online with the same problem, but all of the solutions I have found so far just talk about using the Rotate tool. Am I missing something? Is there something else I need to turn on to make this happen? I'm wondering if I perhaps neglected to activate something else. I was under the impression this was a relatively simple exercise. Thanks.

Thanks again Derek...the clarification makes sense. I'm currently setting up permissions and privileges on layers in Portal, and some users will need to be able to make some edits, while others not so much. One of the layers is quite crucial and we don't want anyone other than those who need to be able to make edits. So I have been experimenting with permissions in both feature layers and map image layers, and also sharing to see if one method is more robust than the other (i.e. don't share the feature layer to those who don't need to make edits etc.). We had a few other issues that needed to be resolved here too that was hampering my progress (e.g. certificates and browser credentials etc.), but those have now all be fixed -- and now my ArcGIS Pro is able to publish :-). Knowing that a map image layer is indeed what I have been calling a map layer is very good to know too. The terminology had me confused so I needed to be sure that what I was including in our Portal hosted data is what I need.

Thanks Michael for the feedback. I did check the Feature Access under Capabilities, but I'm thinking now that much of my question is due to a lingering lack of understanding between the terms: Feature Layer and Map Image Layer. As I mentioned to Derek below, if what I would think is a Map Layer, and if this is the same thing as a Map Image Layer, then I don't think this is a problem. I just get the impression that a Map Image Layer is an image graphic that may behave differently than the map services I usually add to Portal. So I thought I would ask the community for clarification. Thanks.

Derek: Thanks for the response...most appreciated. I published a feature service yesterday and it published directly to my "Contents" in Portal as a hosted feature service. This is what I expected. However, when I try to publish just a map service (by unchecking feature service when publishing) it is saved in Portal as a hosted Map Image Layer. So what I'm trying to determine is if a Map Image Layer is just a feature service that one cannot edit, or is it an image? (i.e. is a Map Image Layer just what ESRI refers to as a hosted map service?). I was expecting just a "Map Layer" to be added to Contents in Portal, but if Map Image Layer and Map Layer are synonymous then I don't have an issue. Thanks.

I have federated by ArcGIS Server - Portal, and can add layers from the geodatabase as hosted layers in Portal when putting together a web map (under Add --> Search for Layers). However, I did publish a single layer as a feature service the other day and it automatically showed up in my "Contents" as a hosted layer. I have not been able to replicate that success though. Now when I publish a map service it only shows up as a "Map Image Layer". In version 10.6 is this now synonymous with hosted "Feature Layer", or am I not doing something right? Is this because Portal will only recognize a feature service as a hosted layer, and not a map service? How does one add a single layer as a "hosted feature layer" to Portal, and not a "Map Image Layer"? Thanks.

Derek: Thanks for the response...it is appreciated. I do have ArcGIS Enterprise installed and configured; however, you have drawn my attention to something else that is probably at the root of my issue. I have not yet federated ArcGIS Server with Portal. Do I need to federate first? I'm surmising that I have not quite completed my process here :-). What should it look like in Portal after federation is completed? Does each feature class from our enterprise geodatabase appear in Portal as a hosted layer (as what happens under "Content" in AGOL), or do I still need to search elsewhere from within Portal when I need to add layers? Or does the federation process perhaps only federate my existing map services, and I will still need to republish from ArcMap every time a layer in Portal needs updating? Thanks

ESRI online help states that I should be able to create a hosted later from under the "Content" tab in "Portal for ArcGIS": Follow these steps to create a hosted feature layer from a template or another feature layer. Verify that you are signed in with an account that has privileges to create content and publish hosted feature layers, and open the My Content tab of the content page. Click Create and choose Feature Layer. However, when I follow these steps in Portal I don't see any option to create a Feature Layer. As I'm the one with Administrator privileges I would assume that I am not restricted by permissions etc. Am I missing something? Am I not doing this right? I created a layer using the Feature Access option when publishing, but this doesn't seem to affect anything either: Suggestions? Thank you

I was running into different issues, but I managed to troubleshoot those and I now have portal up and running. Sadly, I still made a mess of it and I will have to redo my web maps...but I needed to clean all of that up before staff start using it anyway, so it's just forcing me to start that sooner, rather than later :-). It's also good having to redo some of this as it pays to stay on top of it. It won't take me more than half a day to fix those web maps though.

I think I may have resolved my issue...and I feel pretty sheepish about it. I had been trying to install and configure Portal for ArcGIS on the GIS server, rather than the Portal server where Portal had originally been installed and configured. So naturally, after I had completed my installation each time there were duplicate Portals and web adaptors residing on a different server, which is probably going to cause issues, especially when trying to authorize. How dumb is that? 🙂

Thanks Jonathan...I included this in my previous reply to save space and time.

Adam: I thought I was having some success, but it was only fleeting. I did get past the previous error message/warning though...the install process no longer gets tripped up with a Web Adaptor with the same name. But it still won't let me configure the Web Adaptor. I'm running close to the end of my tether here...and am not having much success. I took a look at https://webaddress.domain.com:7443/arcgis/portaladmin --> System --> Web Adaptors and there is no Machine folder, and that pretty well is where this process ends: I uninstalled the web adaptor I had installed earlier, plus I uninstalled Portal and started everything over...still no success. I get to the part where I configure the web adapter and then I get a now familiar error message: I checked in Programs and Features and both of these applications are there (hence they are installed) and both are version 10.6. The only thing I did not do is first deleting the portal folder from C:\inetpub\wwroot as per both your and Jonathan Quinn's suggestion. I will try again (it seems that every time I want to start over it takes about 2 hours to complete the process...sometimes longer).
