Hello there.
I am specifically asking for Canvas, and NOT Catalog. I am wondering if there is a way to block certain email domains or IP addresses.
For example: If I provide a direct enroll link to a course, can we specify it doesn't account @aol.com? Can it be done at a course level? Global level?
Thanks,
Kendall
Solved! Go to Solution.
@KendallCNumber Hello - I read over the admin guides on authentication to double check but to confirm, I do not see the ability to exclude email domains nor IP address ranges from being able to make use of a direct enroll link.

By the way, a few years back when we wanted a custom solution that limited students so they could register for a course using a specific assigned email address domain (for example, .gov) we created the solution ourselves using Cold Fusion forms.
Edit: as of this week we rolled out Catalog and now have that for a course registration solution.
