The Marketplace is a catalog repository that includes a default catalog.

A catalog is a collection of Docker applications that can be configured as needed before being deployed to Litmus Edge instances.

You can deploy both public and private catalogs, and then deploy applications for various uses. The default catalog is preloaded with applications, such as visualization, user interface reporting, business intelligence, programming, server, and database tools.

From the Marketplace Catalog browser pane, you can add, edit, or delete marketplace catalogs. You can modify the default marketplace catalog, but not delete it.

Marketplace uses access control based on user roles for access to catalogs. Users cannot access the catalogs of other users unless they have full access privileges.
