A layer from subscriber content cannot be viewed without logging in to ArcGIS Online when anonymous access is allowed

Description

Although an ArcGIS Online organization allows anonymous access and the content is shared to public, the anonymous user cannot view the layers from subscriber content without logging in with ArcGIS Online organizational account.


 

Cause

Subscriber content requires an organizational subscription account to access and view, even if the layer is on a web map that is available to anonymous users.
