I have several categories in our Service Catalog. How can I restrict an employee so that they can only see one particular category in our Service Catalog? Would I need to create a role and if so, which roles would be needed to see and work on only Requested Items?
Thank you,
Donna

There is a role dedicated to this already - catalog
I have teams of users with this role only (ive added in some business rules to lock their remit down further).
It uses a fullfillers licence, but only allows a user to work with requested items so make sure they dont have itil role as well.
Hope this helps

When I add the catalog role, the user is taken to the portal instead of the application. Anyone know why?

You may have a redirection set up based on roles. check here for how to check: https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_blog&sys_id=cbcda2e9dbd0dbc01dcaf3231f961949
There is a section that might help and might be the reason that they are directed to the portal:

I am sorry for the delay in marking this post. As a new SN admin, I am still investigating this option and not sure that I have worded my need here correctly.
Thank you so much!
