As mentioned in the previous section, you still have full editing control on the layer no matter what you enable for others. If everyone who will edit the layer will be doing the same types of edits, all you need is a single hosted feature layer with one setting.
#POEDIT GROUP EDITING UPDATE#
For example, you can configure the layer so that editors can add, update, and delete features or restrict editing so that editors can only add features or only update attributes. There are several combinations of editing options you can enable. You decide what type of editing is allowed when you enable edits on your hosted feature layer. Does everyone need to make the same types of edits? To ensure you don't accidentally share an editable layer with the public, you must enable public data collection on the hosted feature layer or hosted feature layer view. When you share the feature layer with the public, anyone-even people not signed in to your organization-can edit the layer. Be aware that when you share the layer with a group or the organization, only those members who are assigned a role that includes editing privileges can edit the feature layer. If you do need other members of your organization to edit the hosted feature layer, enable editing on the layer and share it with the appropriate set of people. Basically, if you don't need to make the layer available for editing by everyone, don't. It is also useful if you're part of a small organization in which the publisher and editor are the same person. This is useful if the layer is intended for viewing purposes but requires occasional edits. The owner of the hosted feature layer and the organization administrator always have the option to edit the layer in Map Viewer Classic, even if editing isn't enabled on the layer.
