Share VMware Cloud Director Container Service Extension Catalogs with Non-administrative Tenant Users

VMware Cloud Director Container Service Extension installation creates a catalog to store all the Kubernetes templates that are later used to deploy Kubernetes clusters.

Follow these steps to grant users access to the VMware Cloud Director Container Service Extension catalog.
