When creating resources in the Apigee management console, the default visibility will be populated by default. You will have the opportunity to modify the visibility before saving (in the case of Catalog Items) or publishing (in the case of Pages).
In addition, you can modify the visibility of an existing portal resource, as described in the following sections:
