Catalog collaborator roles and permissions
You control the permissions of catalog collaborators by assigning roles.
Catalog collaborators have one of these roles that provide permissions:
- Viewer: can view the catalog and use assets in projects.
- Editor: can use, add, and control access to assets.
- Admin: has full control over the catalog.
The following table shows the catalog actions that you can complete depending on your catalog role. Some asset properties require other permissions to edit. See, Editing asset properties.
+ indicates that users will need to be owners or members of an asset to perform the action. See Controlling access to an asset.
