How do I limit DesignPLUS Sidebar access by Course Format, User Role, User ID, or Course ID?

These access-limiting settings are handled directly in the JavaScript file for your Canvas Theme.

Prior to December 7, 2023, the settings to limit access by Course Format, User Role, User ID, or Course ID were located in the Account Settings tool, accessed through the [Account Settings] page of any Customizations course.

In an effort to increase reliability and improve performance for our users, these settings have been moved to the JavaScript file of your Canvas Theme.
