All solution components, except for plug-in assemblies, have an IsCustomizable managed property. This property appears in the interface with the label Can be customized. Managed properties only become effective after their associated components are installed as part of a managed solution.

While an entity has managed properties in addition to IsCustomizable, the value or the IsCustomizable property, the type of entity, and the type of solution all have an impact on the behavior of an entity, as follows:

  • If the entity is part of a managed solution and the IsCustomizable managed property is set to False, you can’t edit any of the managed properties.

  • If the entity is part of a managed solution and the IsCustomizable managed property is set to True, you can edit the managed properties.

  • If the entity is part of the default solution or an unmanaged solution and it is a business entity, you can edit all managed properties except for IsCustomizable.

  • If the entity is part of the default solution or an unmanaged solution and it is a custom entity, you can edit all managed properties including IsCustomizable.
