The user account I am using for a Dynamics CRM application contains roles for "System Admin" and "System Customizer". But when I try to edit the SiteMap via Settings->Customizations->Customize the System->Client Extensions and selecting SiteMap, I don't see the edit option. Even "My Apps" under Application is not displaying. Please help me point out what Role/Permission is missing.
I am beginner, so any help in this will be very useful.
The version I am using is
Microsoft Dynamics® CRM Online 2016 Update
(8.1.0.581) (DB 8.1.0.578)
Thanks
In-built sitemap editor is avaiable since version 8.2, so you will have to upgrade your organization first, to have this option. For now you still have to use some external tools like SiteMap Editor from XrmToolbox or simply edit XML manually.
To edit XML manually simply go to customizaitons -> solutions. Create a new solution and under "Client extensions" add "SiteMap". Now export the solution, unzip it and inside "customizations.xml" you will have your sitemap which you can edit. But be careful - editing XML by hand may lead to crashing whole CRM. I would not recommend that on Online - if anything goes wrong, you will not be able to open you CRM and the only way of restoring it would be through Microsoft Support. Simply use the SiteMapEditor from XrmToolbox, it's much better approach.

We want to edit the text fields like "Alto", "Bajo" in the same web without enter to the "Edit" section.
You are looking for Editable grid, this is available in CRM UI but unavailable in Dynamics 365 Portals today. You can watch this feature/idea for availability date.
Meantime, you can build your own form with editable layout using HTML/Liquid template.
AFAIK - No other easy readymade solution/configuration available (OOB), but there may be third party solutions out there.
I have disabled Settings tab(Area) in SiteMap Editor from XRMToolbox for Microsoft Dynamics CRM/365 CE(v1.2018.7.28) yesterday. Yesterday, I could see that Settings tab(Area) with "disabled" status and I was able to enable/disable it.
But today when I open SiteMap Editor from XRMToolbox for Microsoft Dynamics CRM/365 CE(v1.2018.7.28), I don't see Settings tab(Area) with "disabled". How can I enable it?
Can anybody please suggest me?
Note: I have few custom Tabs(Area) in my SiteMap. I don't want to lose them.
You can check the xml code of the sitemap using the icon (next to delete x icon). If it’s missing there it’s messed up.
You will find the Default Sitemap xml in MS docs. Refer/copy the Settings node. (You can take a backup of current Sitemap & Reset from “More actions” to study - just don’t update back to CRM).
You can take it from other environments if it’s applicable. Don’t forget to check Sitemap designer within CRM too.
how to remove task entity from activites.
If you are asking about removing activities from quick create bar, XrmToolbox won't help. There is no supported way, that you could achieve this.
Check this community question: https://community.dynamics.com/crm/f/117/t/119887
P.S. XrmToolbox only allow you to edit normal menu (sales,marketing,...), not quick create menu.
you can use the XRMTOOLBOX whit this link https://xrmtoolbox.codeplex.com/
Whit this tool you can edit the sitemap of the CRM and is very friendly to use.
1- connect to your organization
2- on SiteMap Editor.
3- Click on Load Site Map and after that just select the area and you can customize your site map.
