Description

Admin login with approved IPs is a security measure that allows approving only selected IPs that try to login with Admin Account.



Usage

Admin login with approved IP's can only be managed by the System Admin.

The functionality is turned on by default and can be set otherwise using the setting in SETTINGS > Setup > Settings > Security > Admin login with approved IP only:' (we do not recommend to turn it off)

With the Setting enabled, all new login attempts with Admin account will fail with following message:

MOR unauthorized ip.png

And will be reported to System Admin via Email. Then Admin can decide, whether to Accept such IP or completely block it from the System by pressing on the appropriate link:

M2 unauthorized ip email.png

When option is enabled, Admin approved IPs are located in the Security tab:
Approved admin ips.png.png

Notes

This is a one-time thing for each new IP and only for the admin account.

When IP is confirmed by the administrator - any future attempts from this IP will be authorized.

Until Admin decides what to do with IP, this IP will not be able to log in.

IP can be unblocked in the page: Blocked IPs
