Account Portal - limit default collection options
In the account portal we would like a way to limit what is displayed in the "default collection" drop down. Often times there are times when we might have a collection site used for testing or one not ready to be discovered that the patron will have access to.

Yes, we are managing a custom header and need testing for various aspects of our integrations, and would like to have a test collection site available to staff, but not accessible to customers.

I've also run into this. Now patrons see collections like "zzz Test for PPLD."
In addition - we have a custom Vega URL but not all of the collection sites have custom URLs created yet (they don't automatically work) because we haven't been actively using them or promoting them to the public yet. If a patron is on our custom domain and chooses one of these default collections, it tries to load a url that doesn't exist. Even if they go back to our main site and click log in again, it will immediately try to load that default collection site and the patron gets stuck being redirected to our old catalog which tries to redirect back to Discover and on and on. They don't have a way back to edit the default collection site unless they know to replace the base url with the iiivega one, which they never would.
