Adding another permission in Catalog of reading and viewing assets only permission and allow users to request to access the assets inside a catalog

For now in catalog collaborator roles and permissions, the most limited role in a catalog, viewer, allows users to view the catalog and use assets in projects. However, there is customer's scenario that they only want some users the permissions to find and views the assets in a catalog. If the users want to access and use a specific asset or the entire assets in that catalog, they have to submit for another request. Refer Viewer permission here: https://dataplatform.cloud.ibm.com/docs/content/wsj/catalog/cat-collab-permissions.html?context=cpdaas.
We would request to have this feature in IKC in next the incoming version as soon as possible.

    Hi Duc, thank you for submitting this idea for IKC. We are actually planning to add a new platform permission to control ability for a given user to add assets from governed catalogs to project for a different use case, though I can see that we can expand that to both governed and ungoverned catalogs. For example, this is how it may work:

    1. There'll be a new platform permission, say, "Add catalog assets to project" that can be added to a CPD user role.

    2. Users with this permission will be able to add assets from any catalog to projects. Basically the behaviour today.

    3. Users without this permission will NOT be able to add assets from any catalog to projects. They'll see a greyed out button instead.

    4. If users don't have this permission, they'll need the CPD admin to add this permission to a CPD user role assigned to the user.

    Will this approach work for this customer?

    Separately, we're also evaluating a general request access to data flow on the request side.

    Regards,
