How can you limit catalog visibility to only those groups associated with the catalog?
-
Adjust the responsibilities associated with the Access Groups to ensure only the appropriate people have access
-
Set the Visible Flag for the catalog on the Catalog screen
-
Set the Private Flag for the catalog on the Catalog screen
-
Adjust the positions associated with the Access Groups to ensure only the appropriate people have access
To limit catalog visibility to only specific groups, you set the 'Private' flag for the catalog on the Catalog screen. This ensures only users in access groups associated with that catalog can view it. The 'Visible' flag controls general visibility, not group-specific access. Adjusting responsibilities or positions affects user permissions but doesn't directly limit catalog visibility to specific groups.
Siebel catalogs (used in eSales/ePricer and similar modules) have a 'Private' flag on the Catalogs screen. When set, the catalog is visible only to the access groups explicitly associated with it, rather than being visible organization-wide. The 'Visible Flag' controls whether the catalog is active/shown at all (not scoped to groups), and adjusting responsibilities or positions on Access Groups changes who's in the groups, not how catalog visibility is restricted at the catalog level. Setting the Private Flag is the documented, direct mechanism for limiting a catalog's visibility to its associated groups.
