Gaëtan/Sean, The dev team has tabular dataset support planned for the next major release in July and is interested in hearing about how you'd like Open Data to support this type of dataset. It would be great if you could please post some comments here about how you'd like to add and work with tabular data -- direct upload of a CSV, referencing a CSV by URL that is already on a web server, sharing directly from Esri Maps for Office, etc.? Which are your most important workflows that you'd like to see supported?

Something to be aware of... Editing the name (or any other aspect) of an open data group disables its open data designation. You need to go back in an re-enable open data on the group if it is modified.

In March 2013, the capability to add other file types to ArcGIS Online was added. This included files like PDFs, Word/Excel docs, and images. When you find these files in searches or view them on a Group page, these new file types appear under the "Maps > All Maps" filter option. They should not appear when looking for maps, and there should be new filter categories added. Something like: Files > Documents and Presentations (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) Files > Images (JPG, PNG, etc.) So the higher level filter categories could be: All Results Maps Application Tools Files

Wanted to expand on the discussion of transfer of group ownership and group membership as these are not trivial. The admin would also have to manually transfer ownership of all users' groups to their new enterprise accounts during a migration to enterprise logins. Group membership would also have to be re-created for each new enterprise user account. The admin would have to add the new enterprise account to all the groups the original account was a member of. In the case of both ownership and membership, the admin would need to somehow (manually or through a custom script/tool using the Portal API) determine all the groups the old AGO account owned or was a member of.

Below are some questions/observations/feedback on migrating to enterprise logins. This applies to any customer that started using ArcGIS Online with AGO accounts and/or Esri Global IDs and wishes to migrate to using enterprise logins based on SAML (new in March 2013 release). Migrating content/groups When someone who has previously used ArcGIS Online with an existing organizational user account logs in for the first time with their enterprise account they essentially start over using a brand new account. This means there is nothing in their "My Content" area and they are not a member/owner of any groups; all their content/groups must now be migrated by an Admin from the person's previous AGO account to their new enterprise account. �??With no migration process or official (or community sanctioned, maybe the AGOL Assistant is a candidate?) migration tool, this puts a heavy burden on the admin that increases as the number of users increases. As the admin of an org account with ~130 members, I have to say I'm not looking forward to migrating everyone's groups and content (including all their My Content subfolder structure). �??Managing user accounts Any person logging in with their enterprise account is treated as a new user account, so the number of "users" in the subscription could potentially double after enabling this feature. This is something the admin must manage by either 1) purchasing more users, and/or 2) methodically removing user accounts as people migrate to their enterprise logins. As a result of this, I am also now considering a request to add more user accounts "just in case" we don't manage the migration to enterprise log-in properly so we don't exceed our current allotment of users. Ideally, it would be very useful for the system to migrate content/groups and clean up old AGO accounts during a person's initial login with their enterprise account. After the first login with an enterprise account, the user would be prompted asking them if they already have an account in the organization, then they'd be prompted for those credentials. The content would then be migrated, group ownership/membership would be transferred, and the old account removed.
