Limiting Package Availability

By default, Novell® ZENworks® Web Self-Service is configured to allow all packages to be available to all users. You can, however, configure Web Self-Service so that packages are available only to the users who have been granted rights specifically to the packages.

The OnDemand Admin User object is a trustee of the catalog root container. The OnDemand Services Package Request gadget is configured to access the catalog as the OnDemand Admin user, which means that it has rights to see all packages contained within the catalog. To limit package availability, you configure the Package Request gadget to receive its catalog rights through the logged-in user rather than the OnDemand Admin user. The user will then see only the packages that you specifically give him or her rights to.

The following sections provide instructions for completing the tasks discussed above:
