The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco Prime Service Catalog Administration and Operations Guide explains how to use the Organization Designer and Administration modules of Cisco Prime Service Catalog (Service Catalog), and how to perform basic system administration.
Organization Designer enables you to create the various departments and service teams that comprise your service request and delivery model. It is also the mechanism by which you define the roles your end-users play, and what capabilities and permissions users will receive through those roles.
The Administration module controls all site-wide settings for application behavior, including emails sent during service delivery, user interface appearance, and overall business rules for when and how to apply approvals of service requests. It also lets you define the integration with your corporate directories, and provides access to helpful utilities for troubleshooting and system maintenance.
System administrators of this application will also find this guide a valuable resource for system configuration, housekeeping, and maintenance information.
This guide is intended for system administrators, service designers, and users who are responsible for configuring the end-user administration and overall application architecture for the product.
