# Why Can’t I Edit My Playlist?

## If you can see a playlist but cannot make changes, the reason is usually your plan type or your user permissions.

There are two common reasons you may not be able to edit a playlist.

### 1. You are using a Core playlist

Core playlists are ready-to-use and cannot be edited song by song or Style by Style. You can still assign them to a device or use them in a Schedule.

### 2. Your user does not have playlist editing permission

Control playlists can be edited, but your login needs the **Playlists - manage** permission.

If you can view playlists but cannot edit them, ask the main account administrator to update your permissions.

### Update a user's permissions

1. Click the **profile icon** in the top-right.
2. Click **Users**.
3. Open the user.
4. Enable **Playlists - manage**.

A **Super Admin** has full access to the customer account. If you do not manage users on the account, contact your account administrator or Custom Channels Support.
