How do I manage email domain restrictions in Catalog?

As a Canvas Catalog admin, you can choose to restrict domains where users can register for a Catalog account by either allowing or blocking domains. If you choose to only allow specified domains for registration, Catalog will only allow users to register for an account using an email address with the specified domain(s). If you choose to block domains, Catalog will not allow users to register for an account if they use an email address with the blocked domain(s).

Subcatalogs inherit the same domain registration restrictions as set for the main Catalog account, unless restrictions are also set for a specific subcatalog.
