I have a lot of AGOL content that I'm featuring in a story map, but some of what I want to include is coming from outside my organization.  My choices when embedding a map are "My Content", "My Favorites" ,"My Groups" "My Organization" and "Living Atlas".   The best way of including another org's content is not obvious to me.  I've tried adding that content as a Favorite in my org, but that isn't making it an option when I go to embed.  I have been choosing the option </>Embed under media, and plugging in the URL of the other site.  This works, but in use, it's adding a block instructing "Click anywhere to interact" which isn't appearing on any of the applications I've referenced local to my org.  I'd prefer to have consistent prompts and behaviors for all the maps I have embedded in my story map.    What am I missing?   ...

As a member of a large organization, when we purchase new licenses or subscriptions,  the role of administrator, user and purchasing agent are 3 different people.  As a central GIS office, we administer multiple accounts, and I am primary contact for all of them.   An agency makes a purchase for a new user, and right now, the only way I can tell when a purchase has been completed is to periodically visit myEsri and watch for new transactions.    This is quite inconvenient and there has got to be a better way to handle this.     What would be helpful is an option to have an email generated for certain activities, like new purchases, that are going on with myEsri.   That way not only would I know when new accounts and subscriptions are available, I could also see when our maintenance is fully paid.    I receive notices when bills are due, why not when they are paid as well?    Currently I believe notification goes to the user or the purchaser, but I never see or hear about these, because they assume that the GIS office is surely being notified as well.  That leaves us with daily, twice daily visiting myEsri to look at the dates of recent transactions.   ...

I know this is counter intuitive, but we are being asked if we can limit access to the underlying feature layers on a public facing web application.  I know the first thing that gets checked is whether or not the data is also shared to the public.  The requester doesn't want that, they only want the public to get to the information by way of the application, and nothing else. Is there any way to prevent the public from navigating to our  underlying data and using it in it's more raw form?  Perhaps having some sort of group set up?  All we've managed so far is to keep people from downloading it.   ...
