How does access restriction by IP work?

You can limit access by allowing only specific IP addresses or IP ranges. This feature protects your account against unauthorized logins.

If no restriction is applied, all IPs can access the account.

Prerequisites

• Be the owner or an administrator of the account.

Steps

Open the Access restriction tab

1. In the top-right corner of the screen, click your avatar.

2. In the left-hand menu, click Security.

3. Click the Access restriction tab.

Add an IP address or IP range to the list of allowed IPs

1. In the Access restriction tab, click the Add a restriction button.

2. A new screen appears:

   • Enter the IP address (for example, 192.168.0.1) or the IP range (for example, 192.168.0.0/24) to allow.

   • Check that the address matches the expected format, using the help text shown in the field.

Important: make sure the allowed IPs include those of the administrators, to avoid blocking anyone by mistake.

3. Click Save.

Note: by default, all IPs are allowed if no IP has been added to the list.

Edit or delete a restriction

1. Edit a restriction

   • Click the edit icon next to the restriction.

   • Make the changes you need, then click Save.

2. Delete one or more restrictions

   • Select the checkboxes next to the restrictions to delete.

   • Click the Delete selection button to delete them all at once.

Expected result

Your account can only be accessed from the IPs in the list. Existing restrictions are displayed in a table:

• IP / IP range

• Creation date

• User who created the entry

• Modification date

• User who modified the entry

Best practice: review the restrictions regularly to keep an appropriate level of security.
