Editing a Product
After you have created a product, you can edit the product name, description, and owner, and change the access to the product by editing the product. The Edit action is available only if you have the necessary permissions for editing products.
* 
To modify the business rules for the product, use the business administration utilities.
Use the following procedure to edit a product:
1. Under Products in the Navigator, click View all products to view the Products table. From the Products table, select the product that you want to edit to make it the current product.
If the product was accessed recently, you can select it from under Products in the Navigator.
2. Select Edit from the right-click actions menu for the product on the Products table or from the Actions menu on the product information page.
The Edit Product window opens with the current product attributes displayed, including name, description, and owner. If your site has enabled use of organization identifiers, such as a CAGE code or DUNS number, then that attribute is also displayed.
3. Edit the text in the text fields.
* 
The product name must be unique within the current organization context and cannot contain the following special characters: /, \, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, (, ), :, ?, ", <, >, or |.
4. The Owner field has the user name of the user who owns the product; initially the product owner is the user who created the product. Click the find icon to locate another user to set as the owner. The owner has no special privileges. He or she is just the person who is most knowledgeable about the product.
5. The Private Access attribute shows current setting for access to the product.
* 
If a shared team has been selected for the product, then this field is disabled.
If Yes is selected, then access is restricted to use only the access control policies that are defined within the product context being edited; any public access policy rules written at the organization level are not inherited by the product. By selecting Yes, the default domain for the product is moved from the organization PDM domain to the organization Private domain. For more information on the implications of moving domains, see Context and Domain Hierarchy Overview.
If No is selected, then the product is accessible from the default domain and it inherits the control settings established in the parent context.
Change the access to the product by selecting Yes or No.
6. Click OK to update the product information and close the window.
