Additional Information

The behavior seen is expected due to partial connection matching functionality. If multiple users are going to use the same project to work, the recommendation is for credentials to be saved in each connection. Other available options are: Turn off the editability of layers: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/3.1/help/editing/specify-which-layers-can-be-edited.htm To restrict access to data for a certain group of users, publish data to a portal and manage access via portal security: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/administer/windows/roles.htm

Workaround

  1. Connect to the Viewer user, and do not check the box to save the username and password. 
  2. Add data to the map viewer. In the List by Data Source, confirm the feature class is coming from the Viewer connection.
  3. Connect to the Editor user and check the box to save the username and password. 
  4. Add the data to the map viewer. In the List by Data Source, confirm the feature class is coming from the Editor connection.

Alternatively, save the username and passwords for both connections.
