Configuring the default Catalog permissions template

Use the default Catalog permissions template to pre-configure the Catalog permissions that are assigned to each role by default when a new Catalog is created in a provider organization.

About this task

Each provider organization has its own default Catalog permissions template. The changes that you make to the default permissions affect any new Catalogs that are created in the provider organization thereafter. The permissions that are defined in existing Catalogs are unaffected. You can change the default Catalog permissions at any time before creating a new Catalog.
Note: You cannot change the default permissions for the organization owner.

After you have created a Catalog, you can change the permission settings for that Catalog to override the default permissions. For details, see Creating and configuring Catalogs.
