The IP Restrictions wizard allows you to restrict groups from accessing the system unless they are located within a set of defined whitelisted IP address ranges. This can be helpful in cases where you want to ensure that employees are using the system from within the office, or using a company VPN. You can also whitelist users to permit those who might be part of the restricted groups to access the system.
To configure IP address restrictions...
When a user belonging to a restricted group attempts to access the system outside of a whitelisted IP address, the following error message appears:
If a user belongs to multiple groups, and one of them is included in the restricted groups list, they will still be checked and restricted from access if they are outside of the permitted address range, unless they are in the Whitelisted Users list. |
For more information on the permitted syntax when defining IP ranges, refer to IPAddress Java library site.
