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.

This field is only available if identical asset names per domain is enabled for this asset type. Warning Don't edit the full name of assets because the name is needed to synchronize or refresh data sources. Changing the full name may cause unexpected results and break the synchronization or refresh process.
   Type	The asset type. Note If you change the asset type, some attributes may disappear because they are not assigned to the assignment. However, these attributes are not deleted. By changing the assignment and layout of the asset type, you can make them visible. Note If you change the asset type of an asset to the AI Use Case asset type: Via the Collibra user interface, the status of the asset is cleared. You can then manually set the status to suit your needs. Via API, the status of the asset is automatically changed to the default status, which is Ideation.
