Hi there
I am new to Aras.
I can't seem to edit much besides the existing product and part lists. I cant edit item types, or permissions or identities, most of these are "read only". I am logged in as the root super user.
I am wanting to add another property to a part as in the demo video.
Please help :(
Thanks
Heidi

Hi Heidi,
Super User might not have permission to edit these items.
Can you try to the admin login? (password by default is innovator)
A good tip to see check permission on an item
- Open the item you wish to edit.
- Select View (Under the main menu View > Permissions)
- You can now see who has access to Get / Update / Delete that item.
- Right click to view an Identity to see who is a member of the group.
In the example above Innovator Admin has permission to edit the Part Itemtype. Super User does not.

Hi Dave
Thanks for the quick reply.
Yes I had tried admin with no success as well. I see your window says "Unlocked: read only". Mine just says "read only". I have tried to set permissions but everything is just read only. Is there somewhere you "unlock" like you have done? I'll have a look again.

Even for the item types I can edit, certain fields are locked, i.e. for the part I cant edit costs. Doesnt matter whether I am logged in as admin or root.

Hi Heidi,
Sounds like you have figured it out!
I have modified the client source code to show that 'Read Only' means the item is unlocked in Aras (When the item is locked it shows Locked: Editable). It was confusing ours users :)

duh! I am being a chop, sorry. You click the unlock button!
Also found out that cost is a read only field! have to go via the BOM on that one, explained in help file.
