Can we Lock a Catalog item with a password?

[dvelloriy]

We have a sensitive Catalog item. we dont want to restrict it via user criteria. It should remain open for all.

However there is a need from catalog owner to Lock it down via passkey or password which they will manage from their end. So if they configure Passkey as 54321. Catalog owner will share this passkey on demand basis with users.

when you try to open this catalog from esc portal, it will request the passkey. Once you enter the passkey only then form will open up.

Is something like this feasible? Please advise.

** Catalog owners should have the ability to change this passkey anytime.

Hi Suryansh, Is this from chatgpt? if yes, i dont want to waste time here as most of the responses are too generic and dont have authenticity.

This has been tested in my own PDI, you should first try it according to your requirenment.

To be honest I think this is bad practice with a customization to a catalog item via passkey.  The user criteria parameters should be sufficient otherwise you're implementing a solution with technical debt and potential issues further along when others have issues to this catalog item. I would push back and try to find a solution that works for both sides involved
