Azure Data Catalog Assets are not editable when I register an asset via REST API

Question

I am using the REST API of Azure Data Catalog to register new assets. My users need to be able to add/change tags and description. However, when I register new assets over REST API, add tag buttons and description text field disappear.

I suspect I need to pass a parameter in the json to make the fields editable. In the official documentation I couldn't find anything related.

I have all of the admin rights in all of my users, so I don't think it is an access rights issue.

How can I make the assets editable?

Answer 1

The solution is explained here. By default, the assets that are created by REST API are only editable by their owners. In order to change that behaviour, the following json object should be added to the payload:

{
    "roles": [
        {
            "role": "Contributor",
            "members": [
                {
                    "objectId": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000201"
                }
            ]
        }
    ],

   //properties start here
   //"properties": {
   //...
   // }
}
