In the Corporate, Business and Software Engineering, System Engineering and Ultimate editions, if security is enabled, users can update information if they have the appropriate access permissions for the data update tasks for that type of data. The tasks that a user can perform with each access permission are listed below.

Some permissions take precedence over others. For example, if a user has Use Version Control permission, they can modify model elements on import even if they do not have Update Element permission.
