Extended sites in Management Center

You can perform tasks from an extended sites store within the Management Center. For example, you can create, edit, and view business objects that are owned by an extended sites store, as well as duplicate a read-only inherited business object onto a new extended sites business object. You can also view, edit, and delete business objects inherited from an asset store, and distinguish between business objects that are from the local store or are inherited from an asset store.

This table describes the user roles that can access each type of store in an extended sites business model and how these user roles use extended sites.
