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.
