M4 Login with approved IP's

Description

Admin login with approved IP's is a security measure that allows approving only selected IPs that try to log in 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 turned off using the setting in MAINTENANCE > Settings > Security > Admin login with approved IP only: (we do not recommend turning it off)



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



And will be reported to the 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:

When option is enabled, Admin approved IPs are located in the Security tab: 

Notes

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

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

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

IP can be unblocked on the page: M4 Blocked IPs
