Thumbnails each layer on SDE ?

Question

Why was I able not to create thumbnails for each SDE layers on my Citrix ArcCatalog ? Would that work with SDE ?

As I am working on my Metadata in my Spreadsheet for each layer and document them. As I go through each of them and tried to create them not it would not let me to ?

I have looked into the ArcGIS Help desk for 10.3.1 but it does not provide me more details.

Help !

Yeah, I think it is an Administrator who sets up this Citrix Enterprise that does that. Don't know if our Forest will allow that..but the reason for that is to give the end user to see each layer  in the Preview  if you know what I mean....

Yeah, you will need to give that user Insert/Delete/Update privileges to that feature class.  Once you finish updating the metadata, you can remove the privileges.

Yes, I thought so.  I tried other layers and it showed me it denied due to permissions ...
