Assigning subcatalog roles to user accounts

Catalog administrators can assign a user to be an internal supplier or an internal supplier administrator for a subcatalog. These users handle the administration tasks for that subcatalog, such as creating new services, designing workflows, questionnaires, and setting service entitlements.  

Before you begin

Make sure that subcatalogs are created.

To assign the Internal Supplier Administrator or Internal Supplier role to user accounts

Assign the subcatalog roles to user accounts either while creating a subcatalog or by editing a subcatalog. You can assign a user as an internal service supplier or an internal service supplier administrator to only one subcatalog. 

1. In the Catalog console, select Catalog > Subcatalogs.
2. Select a subcatalog, and then select Actions >Open.
3. Perform one or more of the following steps to assign users who will manage the subcatalog:

• • To assign internal service supplier administrators for the subcatalog, click Add next to the Administrators, select one or more users, and then click Add.
  • To assign internal service suppliers for the subcatalog, click Add next to the Internal Suppliers, select one or more users, and then click Add.
    
    

       4. Click Close.

To create a subcatalog

1. In the Catalog console, select Catalog > Sub-catalogs.
2. Click Create sub-catalog.
3. In the Name field, enter a subcatalog name, and then click Confirm.
4. In the Sub-catalog Options section, add one or more of the following items to the subcatalog:
   
   • Services and bundles
   • Service actions
   • Workflows 
   
5. Click Close.

In addition to services, bundles, and service actions, subcatalogs share virtual marketplaces and banners that were defined by one of the following methods:

• Created by a catalog administrator and assigned to this subcatalog
