ArcGIS Custom Reference Layer Private Access

I'm trying to use custom layer on ArcGIS and I don't want to make the layer public. However, I can use it only when it is shared with Everyone. Some layers requires username & password. How can I act...

Hi,

 

Do you mean that you have a custom layer and  you want to use it in ArcGIS privately? There are a few restrictions here.

1. We can't connect to ArcGis Online account from Power BI by now.

2. Power BI need network connectivity to display maps.

I am sorry I didn't find any layers that require username & password. Could you please post one?

Please reference: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-service-tutorial-arcgis/

 

Best Regards!

Dale

      Hi Dale,

       

      Thanks for the update. It is weird that users can access my private layers by entering arcgis username and password. If an admin just set this username and password in the Power BI ArcGIS component, it will become an enterprise solution. It sounds so simple, and it is mission critical for enterprises who has custom private layers :)

       

      Thanks,
