Overwriting Locator (python) - but it changes permissions to private (portal)

[ChristenWatts]

Thanks for your potential help!

I'm using the CreateGeocodeSDDraft script to overwrite my Locator on Portal which is working... except -- when it overwrites/publishes  - the permissions are set to Private and I want it to be Public/Everyone.  I can change it to Everyone/Public in Portal, or on the Server Manager - run the script - is published but it private. 

Any ideas?  I've tried everything I can think of (there are some not called variables from all my attempts)

here is the script I'm using

import arcpy
import pprint

#sign into portal
arcpy.SignInToPortal(arcpy.GetActivePortalURL(), "####", "####")

# Overwrite any existing outputs
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True

locator_path = "C:\\Users\\gisadmin\\Desktop\\Geocoders\\simplicity"
sddraft_file = "C:\\locator_script\\simplicity.sddraft"
sd_file = "C:\\locator_script\\simplicity.sd"
service_name = "simplicity"
#shrOrg = True
#shrEveryone = True
#shrGroups = ""
folderName = "Geocoders"
summary = "Address ans Streets locator for the City of Asheville Simplicity Application!"
tags = "address, locator, geocode"
shared = True
everyone ='true'
orgs = 'true'
groups = None
shrOrg = True
shrEveryone = True
shrGroups = ""

# The URL of the federated server you are publishing to
in_server = "https://gisportal.asheville.gov/server/rest/services/Geocoders/"

# Create the sd draft file
analyze_messages = arcpy.CreateGeocodeSDDraft(locator_path, sddraft_file, service_name,
copy_data_to_server=True,
summary=summary, tags=tags, max_result_size=20,
max_batch_size=500, suggested_batch_size=150,
overwrite_existing_service=True)

# Stage and upload the service if the sddraft analysis did not contain errors
if analyze_messages['errors'] == {}:
try:
# Execute StageService to convert sddraft file to a service definition
# (sd) file
arcpy.server.StageService(sddraft_file, sd_file)

# Execute UploadServiceDefinition to publish the service definition
# file as a service
arcpy.server.UploadServiceDefinition(sd_file, in_server)
print("The geocode service was successfully published")
except arcpy.ExecuteError:
print("An error occurred")
print(arcpy.GetMessages(2))
else:
# If the sddraft analysis contained errors, display them
print("Error were returned when creating service definition draft")
pprint.pprint(analyze_messages['errors'], indent=2)

I am using Enterprise 10.9.1 and ArcGIS Pro 2.9.

I ended up sharing it (in the script) to a folder that was public and now it's public.

I am running into the same issue, can you elaborate a little more by what you mean when you say you shared it in the script to a public folder? Like the locator in the C drive in the script?

[ChristenWatts]

Hey Kayden,  I meant a folder on portal that was shared publicly. My original was not. Hope you can get it working!

Thanks!

Sorry to ask you but can you post your code? I'm not sure how to specify the folder.
