I have a .tiff world file that I would like to add as a layer on top of an aerial in ArcGIS Online.  It is a scanned .tif of a floor plan or building layout that I georeferenced and now I would like to share that out to a particular group of users.  Is there a better way to achieve this or is this possible in ArcGIS online?

Go to the My Content area of ArcGIS Online. Click the Add Item button. Browse to your tif file and add it. This is not adding it to a map but just as an item. Then you will have to add the tif file to your map. When you are in the map, click on Add (toward the top left), then Search for Layers, then click the Go button. The tif file should show up in the list. Add it then wait a little while.

If your georeferencing and coordinate system are correct, I assume it will fall into the correct place.

I don't think that ArcGIS Online supports adding images (which are hosted in ArcGIS Online) to maps.  IMHO, this is confusing because AGOL does support hosting image files simply as a file sharing mechanism.

If you don't want to host the images using your own copy of ArcGIS Server then I believe that have to generate a tile package from the image(s).

Here are some useful links with background information on this:
