3.10 IP Whitelist

The IP Whitelist section of the admin panel provides tools to control and restrict platform access based on IP addresses or IP ranges.
This feature is essential for enhancing platform security, preventing unauthorized access, and implementing user-specific or global IP restrictions.

3.10.1 List of IP Rules

• Column sorting: Small arrows to the right of the column name can be used to sort by the column content; pressing the icon again will sort in the opposite direction. There are different types of sorting for different columns:
  • alphabetically (A–Z / Z–A) for text columns such as Rule name
  • by date (from earliest to latest and back) for Time added
• Column Filters:
  • ID – free text input for actions' ID.
  • Rule name – free text input for a custom label for the IP rule.
  • IP / range – free text input for IP address or range of them.
  • Time added – date range picker to display the date and time when the rule was created.
  • Added for –  free text input to search by the name of the user the rule was added for.

Each entry in the list represents an IP restriction rule that has been applied to either a specific user or globally across the platform.
The table provides the following information for each rule:

3.10.2 Adding a New IP Rule

To create a new IP restriction:

1. Go to the IP Management section in the left-hand menu.
2. Click the green Create Rule button in the top-right corner.
3. A modal window titled Create Rule will appear.
4. Fill in the following fields:
   1. Rule name
      1. Enter a descriptive name for the rule (e.g., Office VPN, Admin home IP).
   2. IP type (choose one):
      1. IP address — select this option to allow one specific IP address.
      2. Range — select this option to allow an IP range.
         1. From — enter the start IP (e.g., 190.190.190.190).
         2. To — enter the end IP (e.g., 190.190.190.191).
   3. Scope (choose one):
      1. Global — the rule applies system-wide (not tied to a specific user).
      2. User — the rule applies only to the selected user. Select the user from the dropdown.
5. Click Save Rule to create and apply the rule.

3.10.3 Managing Existing Rules

• Edit – Not available; delete and recreate rules if changes are required.
• Delete – Click the trash can icon in the Actions column to remove the rule.

3.10.4 Best Practices

• Always label rules clearly for easy management.
• Use User-specific rules for restricting sensitive accounts.
• Use Global rules for blocking malicious IPs across the platform.
• Regularly review and update the list to remove obsolete restrictions.
