Devo users with the necessary administrative permissions can perform the tasks shown below with existing lookups.

All of these tasks are carried out in the Lookup Management tab of the Data Search area.

What permissions do I need?

To access this area and see the lookups shared with you, you need to have at least view permissions on Lookups for upload lookups and Query lookups for query lookups. However, to be able to perform the management and edition tasks described in this article you need to have the management version of those permissions.

Take into account that these two permissions are hierarchy-based, meaning you need to have Lookups assigned in order to be able to have Query lookups.
