You can define the layout of the Browse page that a Data Governance and Catalog user views to explore assets.
When a Data Governance and Catalog user opens the Browse page, they can view how the catalog is structured and explore data by asset type. They can also easily drill down to see the child assets associated with the asset. However, you might want to hide certain settings or present a different layout for specific roles and users in their organization. You can create and save these layouts and they then appear listed in Layouts on the Browse page of Data Governance and Catalog. Users can switch between these layouts.
Creating a custom layout for the Browse page
You can modify the layout of the Browse page, save it with a unique name and then assign the layout to specific roles and user groups or to all users in your organization. When a Data Governance and Catalog user opens the Browse page, they can view the Browse page as per the various layouts that are assigned to their user role or user group.
