How do I require a user to authenticate into Catalog before viewing my institution's catalog or subcatalog listings?
As a Canvas Catalog admin, you can require users to authenticate into Catalog before viewing your institution's listings. When you require user authentication for a catalog or a subcatalog, all listings in the catalog are restricted from view until after users log in to their Canvas accounts.

Click the User Name drop-down menu [1]. Then, click the Admin link [2].

Click the Catalog or Subcatalog name link.

The Require authentication to access Catalog and its subcatalog option is enabled by default. To disable the option, click the Require authentication to access Catalog and its subcatalogs drop-down menu and click the No option.

Click the Save button.
View Catalogs that Require Authentication
When authentication is required, the catalog displays a Key icon on the Catalogs page.
