Required Permissions
To create, update, or delete service metadata records in the CMR, or to associate / disassociate services with collections, your login user id must be a member of a group with Provider Object Permissions which include Ingest Operations Read and Update.
See your provider Administrator if you are not sure whether your user id has the correct permissions for these operations. The provider Administrator should refer to the "Manage 'Provider Object Permissions' for a user group" section below to assign these permissions.

4. Explicitly Save form input (within a session or at the end of a session) with the 'Save' button; Finish editing your draft record using the 'Done' button.
NOTE: When you are working with a draft service record, all 'Save' and 'Done' operations update the draft record in the MMT database, not in the CMR, i.e., DRAFT records are not stored in the CMR.
