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 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,

      Hi Murat,

       

      Thanks for sharing. I realized it recently. Reference this document in case you didn't find it.

        Yes, I know this document. However, it doesn't solve my problem. Custom layer need to be shared with Everyone (public). I want to access my custom layer without making it public.

         

        I tried and added my custom layer. Then, I made it private again, the custom layer is still available in my report but I have to enter arcgis username and password after I re-logged in to the Power BI report.
