Members of user groups have default access rights to catalog content. You can override these settings, and grant groups and users access to individual catalogs and categories.
For example, a Site_Editors group has change permission for the entire catalog, while members of the Fashion_Editors group only have change permission for the Fashion catalog, and Automotive_Editors group members only have change permission for the Automotive catalog.
