Assigning solutions to a catalog
In this guide, you learn how to assign Service Catalog solutions to a catalog.
By curating solutions into catalogs, you control which users can view and launch
approved solutions in your organization.
You must create the solution in Service Catalog before you assign it to a
catalog. To create one, see Creating Solutions.
You must have the Catalog Admin
(roles/cloudprivatecatalogproducer.admin) ORCatalog Manager (roles/cloudprivatecatalogproducer.manager) role for
the Google Cloud project where Service Catalog is enabled. If you
don't have either role, contact your Organization Administrator to
request access.
For each solution you want to assign, find the solution in the list and
click Assign to Catalogs.
In the Assigned Catalogs window, check the box for the catalog.
Click SAVE.
The solution now appears in the catalog. If you've already shared the
catalog to a Google Cloud resource, users who have access to the
resource can now view and launch the solution.
Removing a solution from a catalog
When you remove a solution, end users can no longer view or deploy
the solution in the catalog. Removing the solution doesn't delete it from
Service Catalog and doesn't affect your users' existing deployments. To remove
a solution from all associated catalogs and delete it from Service Catalog,
see deleting solutions from Service Catalog.
