Standard catalogs can contain external tables and volumes.

Users with the required permissions can view, modify, or create schemas, volumes, and tables inside standard catalogs. You can manage permissions to control who has access to your standard catalogs. For more information, see Standard Catalog Permissions.

When your AI Data Platform is created, it contains the default catalog. The default catalog is a standard catalog that can't be moved or renamed. Any assets you create without providing a specific location are added to the default catalog.
