ArcGIS Location Platform supports secure data sharing models for hosted data and services.
Public sharing
Hosted data services in ArcGIS Location Platform are not shared publicly.
This reduces risk from unintended high-volume anonymous traffic and helps protect against unexpected billing impact.
If you are building a public-facing app, use authenticated access with developer credentials, such as:
Group sharing
You can share hosted content with groups in your ArcGIS Location Platform organization.
Cross-organization group sharing is not supported for ArcGIS Location Platform subscriptions.
Recommended pattern for app access
Use private hosted data with a deliberate authentication strategy in your application:
- Choose the right credential model for your audience and app architecture.
- Scope credentials to the minimum required privileges.
- Monitor usage in Usage and billing impact in Billing.
See Deployment and authentication patterns for implementation guidance.
