Example

• When the account owner restricts the us-east location for the user in the catalog settings.
• If that user creates a workspace and provisions the resources in the North America region, where North America consists us-east and us-south.
• In this case, the user can view the resources are provisioned only in us-south but not in the us-east region.
• The reason is that the location visibility is restricted to the user.
