Managing access to a catalog

Managing access to a catalog

If you have the Admin role in the catalog, you can manage individual collaborator access. You can view and manage only groups that you are a part of.

Add collaborators

When you add collaborators to a catalog, you can choose to add user groups or individual users. User groups help manage many users with similar access requirements.

For more information about user groups, see Working with access groups.

Adding a user group to a catalog:

  1. On the Access control page, click the Add collaborators dropdown and select Add user group.
  2. Specify the role for all members of the user group:
    • Viewer: can look at the catalog and add assets to projects.
    • Editor: can use, add, and control access to assets. Editors can delete only assets that they are a member of or own.
    • Admin: has full control of the catalog.
  3. Click Save.

Adding a user to a catalog:

  1. On the Access control page, click the Add collaborators dropdown and select Add user.
  2. Specify the user's role:
    • Admin: has full control of the catalog.
    • Editor: can use, add, and control access to assets. Editors can delete only assets that they are a member of or own.
    • Viewer: can look at the catalog and add assets to projects. For more information about the available roles, see Catalog collaborator permissions.
  3. Enter the user's name or email address in the Collaborators field to add individuals, or enter the user group name. Then, select the user or user group in the search results. You can copy multiple email addresses, that are separated by spaces, and paste them into the Collaborators field.
  4. Click Add.

You can also add collaborators by using the Watson Data API. See Add members to a catalog with Watson Data API.
