Easier-to-manage products
With Private Catalog, the products you create traditionally must live under a single catalog. This made it easy to manage your products at the catalog level but made it difficult if you wanted to include the same product in multiple catalogs, or get a list of all the products in your organization.
With the latest version of Private Catalog, products and catalogs are now separate; you can now manage products outside of a catalog, bulk-add products to multiple catalogs, and gain a clear, concise view of all the products in their organizations, along with which catalogs they’re shared to. Private Catalog also features a revamped Admin UX that makes it easy to view lists of products and catalogs.
Simple delegate management
Before the current update, you had to add Private Catalog IAM permissions at the Organization level. We heard feedback that you wanted the flexibility to add permissions at different levels of the GCP resource hierarchy. Now, you can now add Catalog IAM permissions at the folder and project levels, which eliminates the need for a Cloud Admin at the Org level to manage Catalog Admin permissions. With this federated model, complex enterprises can easily manage separate catalogs and permissions anywhere in the GCP hierarchy and enable admins to manage individual catalogs at different folders or projects. No more losing track of who’s an Org Admin, and restricting Catalog Admins’ permissions. Of course, you can also choose to maintain the existing centralized model if you choose.
View shared catalogs with ease
Another customer pain point has been around catalog sharing. Cloud admins share catalogs with the GCP Org, Folder or Project to provide visibility of the solutions to their end users, but Private Catalog didn’t show the sharing metadata. With this release, sharing controls and information are displayed prominently in the Catalog list, with improved governance controls, and you can easily unshare the catalog.
