Advanced Security Rule: IP Address
Updated over a week ago

By specifying an IP Address, you are restricting the networks that have access to a Document, and any visitors have to be on that IP Address in order to view your document. It's a really useful Security Rule if you need to restrict access to your office sites or intranet.

If you are unsure about what IP Address(es) your organisation uses, please contact your IT team and they should be able to assist.

How to create an 'IP Address' Security Rule

  • Select ‘Documents’ from the main menu.

  • Select ‘Settings’ followed by ‘Security Rules’.

  • Select the ‘Add’ button.

  • Start by entering a name for the Security Rules in the 'Details'.

💡 Make sure the name is clear and recognisable so you know which Security Rule you're looking for when you wish to add it to a Document. For example - 'IP Address - London Office'.

  • Select the 'IP Address' tab.

  • Type or paste in an IP Address followed by the 'Add' button.

This can be repeated as many times as required.

We support single IP Addresses, CIDR and IP Address ranges. Ranges can either be entered as "192.168.0.10 - 192.168.10.20" or "192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0".

How to remove an IP Address

Simply select an IP Address from the list followed by 'Deleted Selected' if you wish to remove it.
