Resource Catalogs

Use the Resource Catalogs page to manage resource catalogs for all portals (if accessed through the Shared Assets page) or for the current portal (if accessed through the Assets page). More

Resource catalogs enable you to add resources to pages, page templates, page styles, and task flows. More

Only users with the application-level permission Create, Edit, and Delete Resource Catalogs can manage shared resource catalogs. Users with the portal-level permission Create, Edit, and Delete Assets (simple permissions model) or Create, Edit, and Delete Resource Catalogs (detailed permissions model) can manage portal-level resource catalogs.
