## TL;DR

The object does not support updates through the API (or your profile lacks edit rights). Check the object's API properties and your profile's edit permission.

## Error

```text
ENTITY_NOT_UPDATEABLE
```

## Steps

1. Check the object's describe: is it updateable Expected: you confirm the API property.
2. Check your profile's edit permission on the object Expected: you know if it is rights.
3. Use the supported path (some objects need special handling) Expected: the change goes through.
4. Or ask the admin for the right access Expected: rights are fixed.

## When to use

- ENTITY_NOT_UPDATEABLE
- The object or profile blocks updates

## When not to use

- The object is updateable (then check record-level locks)
- You need mass updates (then use the right tool)

## Tool compatibility

- Salesforce object permissions
- API update calls

## Variant phrasings

### entity_not_updateable

The object does not support API updates, or your profile lacks edit.

### ENTITY_NOT_UPDATEABLE

Same: check object properties and profile rights.

## Why it happens

Some objects are read-only by design (history, share tables). Agents try to update them like normal records.

## Edge cases

- Updateable in UI but not API happens too; check both flags
- Field-level edit rights are separate from object edit rights
