Yes, it is possible to rename Term Groups in DataHub. According to the <https://datahubproject.io/docs/0.14.0/glossary/business-glossary|Business Glossary documentation for DataHub 0.14.0>, you can edit a Term or Term Group by navigating to the page of the Term or Term Group you want to edit, and then clicking the edit icon next to the name to open an inline editor. Changes are saved when you click outside the editor or hit Enter.

Would you like more detailed steps on how to perform this action or any other related information?

<@U06TM7M40RK> Docs do say that it is possible to edit, but I do not see the edit option on the names of the term groups. I am on version 0.14.0.2

If you are unable to see the edit option for Term Group names in DataHub version 0.14.0.2, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are a few potential causes and steps to troubleshoot:

  1. Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to manage glossary terms. According to the <https://datahubproject.io/docs/0.14.0/glossary/business-glossary|Business Glossary documentation>, users need the Manage Glossaries platform privilege to view and edit the Business Glossary. This privilege can be granted by creating a new Platform Policy.

  2. UI Issues: Sometimes, UI issues can prevent certain actions. Ensure that you are following the correct steps to edit a term:

    • Navigate to the page of the Term or Term Group you want to edit.
    • Click the edit icon next to the name to open an inline editor.
    • Make your changes and save them by clicking outside the editor or hitting Enter.

  3. Browser Cache: Clear your browser cache or try accessing DataHub from a different browser to rule out any caching issues.

  4. Backend Issues: There might be issues with the backend services. Check the logs for any errors that might indicate why the edit functionality is not working.

  5. Known Issues: There might be known issues or bugs in the specific version you are using. Check the <https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/issues|GitHub issues page> for any reported bugs related to editing glossary terms.
