Administering Items in the Siebel Analytics Web Catalog

You administer shared Web Catalog folders through the Manage Catalog screen of Siebel Analytics Web. You can view folders and contents including hidden items, and create, rename, copy, move, and delete folders and contents. You can also take ownership of an item. (Taking ownership of an item allows only you to make changes to it. This is useful if a user needs assistance with, for example, a request.)

For information about changing permissions to an item in the Web Catalog, read About Setting Siebel Analytics Web Permissions.
