Public Catalog access

[wade001]

We have created a empty Customer Org for the purpose of providing a public catalog of templates and media to all other customer ORGs,  the VAPP templates are made avilable to the org admins however logged in as an org admin and also with other delegated permissions the users do not see the media and are unable to perform a baremetal install.  Currently we are working around this issue by copying the media to the specific customer ORG catalogs.  Is there a limitation around sharing media from a Published vCloud catalog?

This is currently the intended design.  This is so that the owners who published the catalog would not be stuck if they wanted to delete the content while it was in use by another Org.

Thanks!  So this just applies to Media correct.  It the public owner deletes Media that could be mounted on an ORG VM this is the concern?  A ORG admin can do the same thing, i guess it is assumed an ORG admin will be in conrtol of the VMs within an ORG and should know if media is mapped..

Yes.  See here for more info:  http://it20.info/2010/09/vcloud-director-catalog-experiments/  Check out scenario #2 in particular which I believe applies to your specific need.
