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 Access Groups view.

   The Catalogs list appears.

2. Select a catalog.

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

   A pop-up list appears that contains access groups.

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

   The access group appears in the Access Groups list.

5. In the Access Groups list, save the record.

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

   The access group appears under the Access Group tab.

7. Complete the following fields, using the indicated guidelines, and then save the record.

   Field	Guideline
   Admin	Set this flag to allow users in this access group to administer the catalog.
   Cascade	Set this flag to automatically associate this access group with the catalog’s descendant categories (child, grandchild, and so on). The resulting behavior is that users in the access group have access to the data in the descendant categories.

You can disassociate an access group from a catalog similarly.
