Importing

Subtopics

Importing artifacts to the repository makes them available to others. You might give users the ability to modify one artifact, while limiting others. See Setting Permissions for detailed information on permissions.

Note:

If you try to import an artifact whose MIME type is not defined, you get an error message. Contact your administrator to create the MIME type.
