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 activate that authentication?

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?

Hi,
Exactly, I want to use my custom layer without sharing it publicly. When you search ArcGIS custom layers within Power BI, following screen pops up for some layers;- v-jiascu-msftMicrosoft Employee
