I'm thinking HA jump to the section clip below about DNS alias similar for privateportalurl https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/web-adaptor/latest/install/java-windows/using-a-reverse-proxy-server-with-portal-for-arcgis.htm Set the WebContextURL property The portal's WebContextURL property helps it construct the correct URLs on all resources it sends to the end user. Do the following to change the WebContextURL: Open a web browser and sign in to the ArcGIS Portal Directory as a member of the default Administrator role in your portal organization. The URL is formatted https://portal.domain.com:7443/arcgis/portaladmin. Click System > Properties > Update Properties. On the Update System Properties dialog box, insert the following JSON, substituting your own reverse proxy server or DNS alias URL as seen by users outside your organization's firewall. { "WebContextURL": "https://dnsalias.domain.com/portal" } Note: Portal for ArcGIS only supports a single DNS. Note: You cannot use a nonstandard port (that is, a port other than 443) when setting the WebContextURL property.   ... View more

Hi Bud, I have wondered that many-to-many times too. I might have already entered an idea for it while being frustrated trying to do the same tasks - even already having the ability to log in as a different user to complete those steps (Hybrid IT). This is issue goes back to the original Arc/Info coverage and Map Librarian days. It has always been a very touchy area in GIS/IT as those system/database privileges and responsibilities are often tied to job specifications, training, duties, multi-department/agency responsibilities that fall outside the scope of a GIS job spec. And each agency is most likely setup unique to "how they do things" such as Centralized vs Hybrid IT, single department/agency, one person shops, etc. Today I think I would keep it as-is because having access to the back-end of an enterprise geodatabase is no small thing as you step up from shape files and file geodatabases to Portal/AGOL sharing scenarios due to all the various types of multi-user system requirements and types of locks. Having an extra step has kept me from tripping on my own feet many times. Here are a couple compromises I have heard about: 1) Have all agency data owned and managed by schemas the folks with the agency approved job specifications mentioned above have. Enable editors to edit and workout schema changes together with agreed maintenance windows and procedures. 2) In addition to steps 1, setup different sorts of replicated "synchronized worlds" for editors vs consumers. 3)  Each agency just needs approve some hybrid type options that could grant privileges as needed to enable this functionality or create separate user accounts with the added privileges as needed. ...

This sounds like a bit of a can you vs should you situation. For example, if the system is going to grow out from there it may be more work if you have to rebuild apps or other things due to deep-down internal settings being remembered/embedded in code somewhere. ... View more
