23.6 Catalog Manager Role

As a Cloud Administrator, you have full rights to the Cloud Manager system. This includes creating, editing, and deleting workload templates. However, you might decide that you want the person who creates your VM templates on the Cloud Manager Orchestration Server or in the hypervisor tools to also be the person who creates your Cloud Manager workload templates.

To facilitate the delegation of workload template responsibilities, Cloud Manager includes a System role called Catalog Manager. A Catalog Manager has rights only to create, modify, and delete workload templates. The Catalog Manager can’t see anything else (organizations, business services, resources, reports, and so forth) in the Cloud Manager console. Because of this, you (or other Cloud Administrators) must assign workload templates to organizations; the Catalog Manager cannot make template assignments.
