# Service Catalog security

Service Catalog enables you to set the security for catalog with user criteria.

-   **[Set security for items and categories](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/service-catalog/c_ServiceCatalogAccessControls.md)**  
An administrator can control access to content in the service catalog by creating and applying user criteria records.
-   **[Legacy service catalog access controls](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/servicenow-platform/service-catalog/c_LegcySrvcCatAccessCntrol.md)**  
Service catalog supports several ways to control access to a catalog item or category. These controls are also known as catalog entitlements.
