how to let government pay your rent using gis ( part 2 ) hud smart or not ?

Question

Official map is here

 https://resources.hud.gov/#

 

 

But where the data comes from ?

 

 

This arcgis server REST api endpoint feed the official HUD resource locator map 

https://egis.hud.gov/arcgis/rest/services/hrl/HudResourceLocator/MapServer

 

 

However, they don't want you to see its content, so they check the check box in arcgis server manager to disable showing all layer content, you then end up looking at this ERROR message, if you click that link

 

 

 

Smart ? or NOT ?

Stupid. Period.

If you don't want public to see all layer content, you should configure it as share within organization only on your arcgis enterprise portal for this particular resource. 

By just let user watch error message is not grace, not effective, public user still can see your full content by using some sort of GIS tools.
