Can items from a partnered collaboration be shared with ArcGIS Enterprise portal groups?

Answer

No, items shared through a partnered collaboration between ArcGIS Online organizations cannot be shared with ArcGIS Enterprise portal groups. Partnered collaborations provide access to items without transferring ownership, as the items remain owned by the external organization. Sharing the items with other users or groups changes the sharing settings for content the receiving organization does not own. To protect content ownership and control, partnered collaborations restrict resharing outside the collaboration group without the content owner's permission.

Use one of the following workarounds to provide ArcGIS Enterprise portal users access to items shared through a partnered collaboration group.

Invite members to the partnered collaboration group

In the ArcGIS Online organization, create a new member account and provide the credentials to the ArcGIS Enterprise portal user. Then, add the new member to the partnered collaboration group. This allows the user to directly access and work with the shared items within ArcGIS Online. Refer to ArcGIS Online: Manage group membership and roles for instructions.

Create a distributed collaboration group

A distributed collaboration group enables item sharing between ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise while preserving data ownership and access control. It is useful for organizations that collaborate with external partners who use different ArcGIS platforms. By establishing a distributed collaboration, the ArcGIS Online organization can share items with the ArcGIS Enterprise portal, allowing members to access and manage the shared content within their environment. Refer to Portal for ArcGIS: Create a distributed collaboration for instructions on creating a distributed collaboration.

Add items using the item’s URL

When items in ArcGIS Online are shared publicly, they can be added to the ArcGIS Enterprise portal without requiring ArcGIS Online login credentials. To add the item to the ArcGIS Enterprise portal, use the item's URL. Refer to Portal for ArcGIS: Add a service or document from a URL for instructions.
