To add assets to an organization's asset catalog, you must belong to a role that has the Create Assets or Manage Assets permission for that organization.
Note:
By default, users with the CentraSite Administrator or Asset Administrator role have this permission.
An importer in CentraSite is a utility that takes in the specification file of a particular format as the input and then creates an asset of the particular metadata format in the registry. For example, the CentraSite importer for OData Service reads an EDMX specification and from it, creates an OData Service asset that best describes the OData Service with EDMX specification. The importer also uploads the input file to the CentraSite repository and links the file to the OData Service. When you import a OData Service using an EDMX file, for example, the importer copies the EDMX file into the repository and then links the file to the OData Service.
