Why does a user need publish hosted feature layers permissions

[pfoppe]

The Application throws the following error when a user does not have the "Publish Hosted Feature Layers" capability:

Insufficient Client Privileges
Need minimum privileges of Create content, Publish hosted feature layers and Share with groups in your Role. Please contact your ArcGIS Administrator to resolve this issue.

but it does not seem that this application created hosted feature layers. It only allows for the .tpk file to be uploaded to a users content (as an item, not as a hosted service). Are these permissions really required? Can the app be modified to not require these permissions since hosted layers are not actually being created?

Thanks for the consideration.

@pfoppe I am working on addressing this in #66

Addressed in the latest release. Please verify and close @pfoppe if you no longer have the issue.

Hi @slibby ,

Thanks for engaging this issue. I downgraded my AGOL "SAML account" (enterprise logins) to a custom "contributor" role that has the following privileges:

"features:user:edit",
"portal:user:createItem",
"portal:user:joinGroup",
"portal:user:joinNonOrgGroup",
"portal:user:shareToGroup",
"portal:user:viewOrgGroups",
"portal:user:viewOrgItems",
"portal:user:viewOrgUsers",
"premium:user:demographics",
"premium:user:elevation",
"premium:user:geocode",
"premium:user:geoenrichment",
"premium:user:networkanalysis",
"premium:user:spatialanalysis"

and tested the latest downloadable version (v1.3.30), however it throws the same error message:

I think my account has 2 of the 3 required privs ("create content" via portal:user:createItem and "share with groups" via portal:user:shareToGroup) but does not have the Publish Hosted feature layer privilege.

What is the 'latest version'? Thoughts? Thanks.

if (privileges[i] === "portal:publisher:publishFeatures") {

the app appears to be checking for the ability to create a hosted service. I believe this can be removed - do you agree?

[defiantgoat]

@slibby Yes. Many of those can be removed actually I think.
