How do I manage subcatalog admin access as a Canvas Catalog admin?

As a Canvas Catalog admin, you can enable and disable permissions for other users to act as subcatalog admins for individual subcatalogs. Any user who already has a Catalog account can be given subcatalog admin status. Subcatalog admins can manage any subcatalogs within a catalog.

Subcatalog admins can download reports and manage listings in their assigned catalogs. When cross listing permissions are enabled, subcatalog admins can cross list course and program listings in more than one catalog.

Subcatalog admins can add tags to listings in their assigned catalogs. When tags permissions are enabled, subcatalog admins can also create and manage all tags in the institution's account.

When revenue modification permissions are enabled, Subcatalog admins can modify revenue and view revenue modification information.
