Creating a Catalog Set
You use catalog sets to create groups of specific catalogs, and then give the group a unique name. For example, if you have a frequent buyers program and you give the members of this program discounts or incentives that you do not give the general public, you can create a catalog set with the custom catalogs in it, and then permit only the members of the program to access these catalogs. If you have some products in separate catalogs that you would like to give access to a few restricted users, you can make that catalog part of a special catalog set that only those users would have access to. You grant users access to the catalogs sets in the Users module.
You do not have to create catalog sets. Catalog sets do not change the individual catalogs.
