Hello to everyone,  
I just wanted to ask if it could be. Can we add our own private nodes in addition to the search section provided by node-red in the pallet loading section? Not everyone should see the nodes here, only company employees should see them. Or do you have a better idea that you know of?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. You can host your own catalogue of private nodes. Here is one approach [GitHub - hardillb/node-red-private-catalogue-builder: node-red-private-catalogue-builder](https://github.com/hardillb/node-red-private-catalogue-builder). Also see this thread [Creation of Catalog](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/creation-of-catalog/9722)

Setting up a stand-alone catalog service is one way to go -- or you _could_ just create a flow in node-red!

Here is one that I used to just filter out the nodes I wanted users to install from the original catalog list:
