We have 2 org accounts for our company.  I created groups to share and it works.

The issue is if I click Share in a webmap from org 1 and send that link to someone in org 2 the login screen that appears is org1.maps.arcgis.com which then tells them they are not a member of the org.  So everyone thinks they do not have access causing help desk calls.

I found this post  Sharing Between ArcGIS Online Organizations  about fixing it for App builder but how do I fix it for a regular webmap?

I just want to be able to share a webmap link across orgs.

Thanks

Hey Doug,

In order to access the application, the user should launch the application from the group. In the group, the url will be swizzled, to have a correct url that they can use. You can also modify the url for use in their organization: http://<destination orgurl>.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=<webmapid>

If the url is pointing to your organization, they won't be able to login as their username is not a member of your organization.

Thanks I had tried that but that admin account was not shared so I thought that did not work.  I retested and Using the main long url and changing the leading org name works.

I had been trying to use the Share button and the URLs look like http://arcg.is/0TLf5b  so you can not change the leading org.  

I guess I lose the current extent option but no biggie for me.  It would be nice to have a check option in Share that says Share outside my Organization.

That helps thanks.
