If you are not the owner of the asset, you cannot edit the asset unless you have Modify permission on the asset (granted though either a role-based permission or instance-level permission). For more information about roles and permissions, the CentraSite Administrator’s Guide .

When you view the details for the asset, you will only profiles for which you have View permission. You will only be able to edit the profiles on which you have Modify permission. For more information about the profile-level permissions, Ways in Which You Can Set Permissions.

Some attributes accept only specific types of information. For example, if the asset type includes a URL type attribute, you must supply a URL when you edit that attribute. Other attribute types that require a specific type of value include Date attributes and Email attributes. For a list of the attributes types that an asset in the registry can include, the CentraSite Administrator’s Guide .

Some attributes are designed to be read-only.

This is of specific relevance to REST and XML based service assets. Beginning with version 9.7, CentraSite supports the enhanced interface for REST services (in contrast, earlier versions of CentraSite supported a standardized interface for REST services). Note that the standardized REST service interface that was implemented by versions of CentraSite prior to version 9.7 is not compatible with the enhanced interface that is implemented by current version of CentraSite. Documentation of the prior REST service interface is available to Software AG customers who have a current maintenance contract in Empower Product Support Website.

If you have REST services that were created prior to version 9.7 or if you are using the current version of CentraSite Business UI, these REST services will continue to hold the version's metadata in the enhanced REST service interface implemented by current version of CentraSite.

You can only view details of the REST services in CentraSite Control. Keep in mind that you cannot edit or delete REST services using the CentraSite Control user interface (not even if you belong to the CentraSite Administrator role). You will only be able to edit or delete REST services using the CentraSite Business UI.
