  • As an application developer for the provider, you can create a remote catalog item containing the services for your consumers. After you create these items, an administrator in the consumer’s instance can assign them to the consumer's catalogs and categories and then activate them, just like any other catalog item.

    Example:

    For example, let's say that you have multiple SD-WAN product offerings: Gold, Silver, and Bronze. Your remote catalog contains 20 services that are associated with the SD-WAN products.
    • The Gold product offering gives your consumer rights to all 20 services.
    • The Silver product offering gives your consumer rights to 15 of the 20 services.
    • The Bronze product offering gives your consumer rights to only 10 of the 20 services.
    You can package all 20 of those services in a single catalog. The consumers for each product offering only have rights to the services to which they are entitled.
