Managing access to a catalog

If you have the Admin role in the catalog, you can manage access to the catalog on the Access control page. You add collaborators with specific roles that determine their permission to perform actions.

Adding collaborators

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

For more information about user groups, see Managing user groups in the IBM Software Hub documentation.

Adding user groups to catalogs

  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 users to catalogs

  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. Add individual users or whole groups in the Collaborators field.

    • To add individuals, enter the users names or email addresses and select the user in the search results.
    • To add groups, enter the user group names and select the user groups 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 Data and AI Common Core API. See Add members to a catalog with Data and AI Common Core API.
