Unable to modify File Item type

Hi, I am running the Aras Innovator 11 SP 9 and am trying to modify the File ItemType but it keeps saying I don't have the necessary privileges to do this. I am logged in under the Innovator admin account as well and changed the file restriction permissions to allow update from the admin. Is there something else I need to do in order to get this to work?

    I don't think we really have a file update permission, every time you upload a file, either the parent is versionnable and it is just an upload, or it is not versionnable and in this case, it is an upload and a deletion of the other file which won't be attached to anything.

    Thanks for the response but maybe I wasn't clear enough. I'm not talking about an actual file rather the File ItemType itself. It won't let me modify that. I get an error message that says I have insufficient permissions to update when I try to edit the ItemType.

    I know, but the root problem is not that you can or can't change the file itemtype. I think if you absolutely want to do so, you should connect as root to Innovator (same password, not recommanded though)
