How to remove tags from existing asset?
The help documentation on-site says to remove a tag that you click the "x" next to the tag. I am a community administrator and I do not see an X next to a tag. I have tried in Firefox 3.5.16 and Chrome
I also tried on an asset that I personally own and still could not see the X.
Whereas I can see the "X" mark when I try to add new tag now in test Asset.

Hi,
Tags are owned by the person who applied the tag. They can't be removed
by anyone but the owner.

Rich,
Do you mean that the application of a tag to an asset (regardless of whether the tag is used in other assets) binds that tag to the user who applied it, IN THE CONTEXT OF THAT ASSET ONLY?
If that is correct and given the implementation of tag removal, how can I remove a tag from an asset when the tag was created by a user who is either (out on disability, no longer with the company, etc.)?
I have this situation now and adding myself as an owner (I'm a community administrator) did not resolve the problem (ie: it did not allow me to remove the tag, which I would expect to be able to do as a community administrator)
Thanks,
Kevin

That is what the work item I mentioned is for.

Thank you Rich for the answer... Hopefully I'm not beating a dead horse here but now that I understand the implementation, is that constraint implemented universally, though all interfaces, or just the web/eclipse GUI? I mean can a non-owner remove a tag using the Java API? Or perhaps a RAM System Administrator has some other interface that allows it?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
