The Content Management Service uses privileges to restrict user actions on reference tables. Use the Security options in the Administrator tool to review or update the service privileges.
To work with reference tables, you must have the following privileges in the Content Management Service:
Create Reference Tables
Edit Reference Table Data
Edit Reference Table Metadata
To edit data in an unmanaged reference table, verify also that you configured the reference table object to permit edits.
If you edit the metadata for an unmanaged reference table in a database application, use the Analyst tool to synchronize the Model repository with the table. You must synchronize the Model repository and the table before you use the unmanaged reference table in the Developer tool.
