[Archivesspace_Users_Group] updating the enumerations file

Mon May 4 11:01:45 EDT 2015

Hi James and Nathan,
Yeah we knew how to do it through the database, I just wasn't sure why the
API wouldn't work (which I now have an answer for!). We had a few labels we
had to make for legacy data (non-Archon/AT) to be usable but we've
documented them should it pose a problem for migration. I just found it
strange that sometimes it would say updated successfully instead of
constantly giving me the 'access denied'.

Thanks for your responses!
Maura
