## 6.5. Cannot create, modify or delete objects in Shared Data

You may have only an `Analyst` license checked out, which does not allow you to modify or create objects in Shared Data. For more information see Licensing and Access in the EKM Installation Guide.

If you have a `Shared` license checked out, but cannot create, modify or delete an object in Shared Data, it is likely that these actions are disabled in the object’s permissions.

Note that object permissions do not override license permissions. For example, a user with an `Analyst` license will not be able to modify an object even if he or she has been granted Modify permission on the object. He or she must have a `Shared` license checked out to be able to modify the object.

Solution: If the Access Level assigned to you is `Analyst`, and you would like to be able to modify or create objects in Shared Data, then an EKM administrator must change your Access Level to `Shared`. Alternatively you can copy the object to My Data and modify it there.

If you have the appropriate license checked out, but cannot create, modify or delete the object, check the object permissions by selecting Edit > Permissions. If the desired permission (for example, Modify) is disabled for you or the group to which you belong, you will not be able to perform that action on the object unless an admin user enables that permission for the object.

Note that even if you are granted Full Control or Delete permission on a particular object, you will not be able to rename, move or delete the object unless you have Access permission on the object’s parent folder.
