# Viewing catalog objects
<a name="view-ns-catalog-resources"></a>

 After you create the federated catalog, you can view the objects in the catalog using the Lake Formation console or AWS CLI. 

------
#### [ AWS Management Console ]

1. Open the Lake Formation console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/lakeformation/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/lakeformation/).

1. Choose **Catalogs** under Data Catalog. 

1. Choose a federated catalog from the list on the **Catalogs** page.

1.  The catalog summary page shows the catalog objects (databases and tables) that you have permissions on. The **Permissions** tab shows the IAM principals who has been granted permissions on these objects.
