[jira] [Updated] (ATLAS-1502) UI to create/update entities - configuration to restrict entity-types editable via UI

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-1502?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Keval Bhatt updated ATLAS-1502:
-------------------------------
    Description: 
ATLAS-1193 introduced UI to create and update entities. Currently the UI allows an user to create entity of any entity-type - including the superTypes like Referenceable, Asset, Process, etc. It may not be useful to support entity creation of many such entity-types via UI. Restricting the UI to support only a subset of entities would make the UI more usable and avoid potential confusion.

It should be possible to configure the list of entity-types supported via a configuration, to enable deployments to satisfy specific needs. I would suggest to use a configuration like:
{code}
atlas.ui.editable.entity.types="type-1,type-2,type3"
{code}

- if the configuration is set to an empty value (or not set): UI should not support create/edit of any entity
- if the configuration is set to is set to "*", then UI should allow create/edit of any type of entity
