The first option is to restrict access to offerings and catalogs in the Offering Catalog and Self Service Center applications. This can be done by checking the Create Offering Catalog and Self Service Center Data Restrictions? check box on the on the Service Catalog tab in the Security Groups application.

  3. Click on the Service Catalog tab.
  4. Select the Create Offering Catalog and Self Service Center Data Restrictions? check box.
