Consumer and guest users use the
CentraSite catalog tab to browse the catalog and search for assets.
CentraSite serves as the central catalog of reusable assets within a development environment. When initially installed, the CentraSite catalog supports several types of assets, such as Web services, XML schemas, XML services, REST services, OData services, and application servers.
Note: | Not all operations are allowed for all users. A user's role and the instance-level permissions on an asset determine which assets a user is allowed to see and what operations the user is allowed to perform on the asset. |
