Associating an Access Group with a Catalog

By associating an access group with a catalog of master data, you grant access to the data in the catalog to individual users in the access group.

Note: For a catalog and all of its’ categories to be visible only to the access groups associated with it, the catalog’s Private flag must be set.

To associate an access group with a catalog

1. Navigate to the Administration - Catalog screen, then the Catalogs view.

   The Catalogs list appears.

2. Select a catalog.

3. Click the Access Groups view tab.

   The Access Groups list appears, which shows the access groups associated with this catalog.

4. In the Access Groups list, add a new record.

   A pop-up list appears that contains access groups.

5. Select an access group, and then click Add.

   The access group appears in the Access Groups list. For more information on creating access groups, see Siebel Security Guide.

You can disassociate an access group from a category similarly. When an access group is disassociated from a category, it is automatically disassociated from all of the category’s descendant categories.
