Deploying a Catalog

Deploying a catalog deploys all of the models in the repository so they can be accessed and queried from BI tools.

Important: When you deploy a catalog, all models in the selected repository are deployed. Before deploying, you should verify that it is safe for all models in the repository to be deployed.

Additionally, once a model is deployed, all users have access to it by default. For information on updating permissions on deployed models, see Configuring Permissions on Deployed Models.
