HOW TO
In ArcGIS Online, content can be shared privately, with the organization, or publicly. In some instances, certain content, for example the company’s annual revenue and losses, must be kept internal. This article describes various options to restrict members from sharing content publicly.
Use one of the options below to disable members from sharing ArcGIS Online content publicly.
Change the member's role to restrict sharing privileges
In ArcGIS Online, change the member’s role to Viewer or Data Editor. Members with a Viewer or Data Editor role do not have the privilege to share content.
Create and assign a custom role without the ‘Share with public’ privilege
In ArcGIS Online, create a custom role, disable the Share with public privilege, and assign the role to the member. Members with the custom role are unable to share content publicly without this privilege.
Disable the public sharing option for all members in ArcGIS Online
In ArcGIS Online, an administrator can disable public sharing of content for all members using the steps below. This enables only administrators to share content publicly.
Alternatively, to disable certain organization's content(s) from being shared, set the item's sharing level to Owner by following the steps below. This disables members from viewing and sharing the content. Only administrators or members with the View all administrative privilege can view private content. Refer to ArcGIS Online: Share items for more information.
