IP-Restricted Control Panel Login

Posted by Pat on 01/23/2006 | Permalink | Comments (0)

We have implemented a new feature that allows companies to indicate specifically where their email administrators can log in to the administrative control panel. For example, a company can require that certain administrators only access the control panel from the office.

To set up this feature:

1. Log in to the control panel.
2. Select Administrators.
3. Click once on the administrator for whom you want to adjust permissions.
4. In the Security Settings section, check the “Login restricted to IP Address(es)� box.
5. Enter the IP address for each location from which the administrator is allowed to access the control panel. You may enter up to 3 IP addresses.
6. Click the Save button.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 for each additional administrator. Each administrator can have his or her own unique security settings.

If an administrator attempts to log in to the control panel from an IP address/location not listed in his or her Security Settings, the administrator will see an “Access Denied: This account is IP restricted� message, and will be unable to log in to the control panel from that location.

We expect that this feature will be particularly useful for companies with multiple email administrators—helping to improve security by requiring administrators to only log in from work.
