Modify Organization Catalog Publishing Policy

A catalog provides organization users with a library of vApp templates and media that they can use to create
vApps. Generally, catalogs should only be available to users in a single organization, but a system
administrator can allow the organization administrator to publish a catalog to all organizations in the Cloud
Director installation.
