sharing level

Sharing level is the type security setting assigned to an in a , and determines who can access and manage the item. The levels include everyone (public), group, organization, and owner (private). Each level provides different degrees of access which allows a user to interact with items. When sharing items, the appropriate sharing can be set based on collaborative requirements and the level of privacy required. All sharing levels other than Everyone (public) require a valid access token to access the resource.

Configuring the sharing level of an item will ensure the security of the item and its underlying data. The following is a list of the sharing levels available for the different types of ArcGIS products:

  • Owner (private): Only the owner has access. The item and data service are private and will not be visible or accessible to others. A valid access token or scoped API key is required.
