# Account

Account settings in **Theme settings > Account** help limit catalog or blog visibility to approved customers, optionally treat B2B customers as approved, and choose how restricted content appears.

## How to change theme account

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Set approved customers

* Open **Theme settings > Account**.
* Under **Approved customers**, enter **Matching tags** for customers who may view restricted content.
* Optional: turn on **Enable B2B customers** so logged-in B2B customers count as approved.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Set restricted content rules

* Under **Restricted content**, enter **Hide products with tag** and **Hide blog posts with tag** to hide those items from customers who are not approved.
* Optional: turn on **Enable full restriction** so only approved logged-in customers can use the site when your policy requires it.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Choose restricted style

* Under **Styles**, set **Restricted style** to **Hidden** or **Placeholder**.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Test with accounts

* Sign in as tagged and untagged test customers and confirm behavior before publishing.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

### Notes on account restrictions

* Tags must match how you tag customers and content in Shopify.
* **Enable full restriction** is a strong gate—confirm essential pages remain reachable for support.
* **Placeholder** keeps layout; **Hidden** removes items from view for unapproved customers.
