You cannot manage some aspects of a local object repository using the QuickTest Object Repository automation object model

The QuickTest Professional (QTP) Object Repository automation object model provides programmatic access to manage local object repositories. You can add, delete, retrieve, and modify objects in local object repositories through code using the automation object model. Therefore, the statement that you 'cannot manage' aspects of a local object repository using this model is false - you CAN manage them programmatically.
