Publishing Resources to the IT Shop

In order for users to shop for resources, those resources must first be published to the IT Shop. Resource owners and other administrative users can do this at any time by setting the Allow Access Requests or Allow Join Group Requests property to true on those resources for which they have the delegations to do so.

Remove resources from the IT Shop by setting the Allow Access Requests  or Allow Join Group Requests property to false. This topic demonstrates how to publish the following resource types to the IT Shop:
