# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.brickspacelab.com/slab/getting-started/global-settings/account-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
