Overview of the Catalog Manager
The Catalog Manager feature is a utility that provides role-based, enterprise-level access control to System Architect encyclopedias. Access control is enforced by a catalog. Encyclopedias to which you want to control access are attached to the catalog.
Using Catalog Manager, you create users, assign encyclopedias to them, and then assign users one or more roles that they can perform on catalogued encyclopedias. Catalog Manager also lets you to control menus that are enabled, and the macros that can be executed by a role.
Catalog Manager is automatically installed when you install System Architect, unless you select to not install it during the installation process.
