Administrator Tool: Restricting Login Locations

Companies can now allow administrators to access the control panel only from a specific IP address (or up to 3 IP addresses). This allows companies to allow an administrator to, for example, log in to the control panel from work and home, but not from any other location.
To access this tool, select “Administrators,� and then click the administrator’s name. In the “Security Settings� section, check the box for, “Login restricted to IP Address(es)� and enter the IP address(es) in the box.
Note: Only Super Admins are allowed to make this change.

This is a nice feature - providing the kind of flexibility we thought we had to give up when we stopped running our own e-mail services and outsourced it to you guys.
An even nicer one would be the ability to restrict the IP address specific users would be able to get their e-mail from.
I bet I'm not the only administrator who's worried about users pulling their e-mail onto their insecure PCs and having our confidential customer information splurged all over the internet by a virus...
We have a policy to prevent people from using their e-mail outside the company unless we're satisfied that their PCs are secure, but it would be nice to be able to enforce it...

Interesting idea. We'll put that one on the list of ideas to discuss in the future.
