Lesson 5: Creating Catalog Sets

A catalog set is an organizational unit that contains one or more base catalogs that you can make available to different users or organizations.

Using catalog sets, you can control which catalogs a user or group of users can view on your site. You can also deny access to catalog sets for a particular Business Desk manager who is accessing Business Desk. This way you can control which catalogs a particular user can access and update.

Note

• Catalog sets are an important organizational tool. Organizations and users can be granted access to a catalog set only; they cannot be granted access to a base or virtual catalog directly.

In this lesson, you will use the Catalog Sets module in Business Desk to create two catalog sets, one for each product group: Office Supplies and Office Machines. You will then assign the base catalog for each product group to their own catalog set. Later in Lab 4, you will configure limited access to these catalog sets for specific delegated administrators.

Each of the steps listed below is a prerequisite for the subsequent step. It is important to complete each step in the order listed:

• Step 1: Creating the Office Supplies catalog set
• Step 2: Creating the Office Machines catalog set
