The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a VNF package operation method and apparatus, so as to resolve a technical problem of relatively poor information security because a current VNF package is targeted at all user equipments instead of only some user equipments. A private type is defined in embodiments of the present invention. If a type of a VNF package is the private type, only an authorized user is allowed to use this VNF package, so that the VNF package can be opened to only some user equipments. A specific authorization scope may be self-defined. Therefore, information security is improved, and the problem that cannot be resolved in the prior art is resolved, so as to provide a better service for a user.
