I have a group of 8 web apps. 5 are shared as Everyone(public) and 3 are shared as organization. When I create a hosted group gallery, share it as Everyone(public) only 5 shared as public are displayed. It???s the same result whether I???m signed in or not. BUT when I change all of the items to shared as organization including the hosted group gallery I get an error ???no Maps were found.???
Ideally I would like one gallery which is public to display only those items that are public but once signed in, be able to display additional items available only to the organization. Is this possible? If so, how? And if not, and I need separate galleries for public and organization then why did I get an error when I switched everything to share as organization?

Sean - did you get this to work? I was having trouble geting my "featured" group to show anything at all, even though I allowed "anonlymous" (public) access to my landing page. I finally realized I needed to change the groups "status" and not just share it. But once that was done, my landing page acted just as you were wanting. Those itmes in the featured group that were shared to "everyone" showed up. The items shared only to the "organization" or other other groups within did not show up until I logged in.

So just in case it's still not working correctly (besides maybe clearing your browser's cache), check the share property on your items.

Sean,

Only maps and apps shared publicly will show up in gallery apps or embedded in a web page. This is because the gallery does not collect any username. You could download the app, modify it to accept a username, then host it on your own web server.

Rebecca,

What you describe is the appropriate behavior. If an anonymous user visits your org home page, they will only see items in the featured group that are shared publicly. If you sign in, you may see more items in the featured group depending on what access to those items you have.

Thanks,

Mike
