Edit an asset

You can edit an asset to suit your needs.

Before you begin

Note The requirements and permissions for editing an asset depend on the values that you select in the Domain and Type fields when creating the asset.

• You have a resource role with the Asset > Update resource permission.
  Tip This permission is granted through a resource role that is assigned to you either on the domain or on the community to which the domain belongs ,via inheritance. For more information, go to Responsibilities.
• You have a global role that has the relevant global permission for the type of asset that you are editing. For example, if you want to update a Business Term asset, you must have a global role that has the Business Semantics Glossary global permission. Similarly, if you want to edit a Policy asset, you must have a global role that has the Policy Manager global permission.
  Tip To view the global permissions for all out-of-the-box asset types, go to Overview of packaged asset types.
