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).

When you view the details for the asset, you will only see profiles for which you have View permission. You will only be able to edit the profiles on which you have Modify permission.

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, see Attribute Data Types.

Some attributes are designed to be read-only and cannot be edited even if they appear in an asset on which you have Modify permission.

If you have Modify permission on a profile, you can also edit its nested profiles and associated attributes.

If no value has been assigned to an attribute, then it will not be available to edit in its associated profile.

A profile will not be available to edit if all of its associated attributes does not have an assigned value.

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). Documentation of the prior REST service interface is available to Software AG customers who have a current maintenance contract in Empower, Software AG's global extranet (http://empower.softwareag.com/).

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, you will only be able to view details of these services in CentraSite Control. You cannot edit REST services using the CentraSite Control user interface (not even if you belong to the CentraSite Administrator role). This is because; CentraSite Control does not support the enhanced REST interface. You will only be able to edit REST services using the CentraSite Business UI.
