The

Data Integration Hub

system administrator assigns categories to user groups to determine the users that can view or change the publication. You assign categories to a publication to permit users to view or change the publication. You can assign permission to a publication only if the associated application has assigned categories. If you do not assign categories to the publication, it inherits the categories from the associated application. If there are no categories assigned to the application, all

users can access the publication.

When you configure permissions for a publication, only user groups with permissions to the categories can access the associated publications.
