Canvas Catalog - Disabling New Account Creation

[rromano]

Hello All,

I'm in the process of setting up a Canvas Catalog...is there an easy way to prevent users from creating Canvas accounts? We would prefer that they log in with SSO.

As a temporary solution, we have removed the user registration fields via CSS, but the "Enroll in Course" button is still visible and required to complete the enrollment process. The con is that if it remains visible, then it's a floating button on the page that does nothing until authentication is successful.

What we have done is set up CAS Authentication for university individuals and non-university individuals but still for non-unversity individuals they need to create an account using a system with their gmail or yahoo email, for example, to register for a course. In addition, we use Javascript on each course card that mentions who the demographic should be when registering for a course. We have had less people enrolling that are not supposed to enroll which is a good thing.

Here is an example:
