🔒 The Use Case for IP Blocking
By default, team members can log in from any device or location. Activating a whitelist is ideal if:
- You want to prevent staff from viewing sensitive systems on their mobile devices or at home.
- You want to ensure that access to your company's "how-to" knowledge stays strictly within your professional premises.
💻 Prepare Your Connection
Before activating this feature, you must coordinate with your IT or tech team to prepare your network setup:
- Static IP Required: Ensure your office has a Static IP address, which is an address that does not change.
- Single Connection: Confirm all team members are accessing the internet through that same office connection.
🌐 How to Find Your IP Address
To get the address you need to whitelist, complete the following steps:
- Go to Google and search: "What is my IP?"
- Copy the numerical address displayed (e.g., 123.456.7.89) to your clipboard.
🚀 Activate the Whitelist
Once you have the IP address, apply it to a specific user profile by following these steps:
- Click your Profile Image in the top right corner and select Company -> Members.
- Find the team member and click the Edit (pencil) icon.
- Toggle the Activate IP Whitelist button to On.
- Paste the office IP address into the field. You can add multiple addresses if you have more than one office location.
- Click Save.
🛡️ What the User Experiences
- On-Site: The user can log in normally as long as they are connected to the approved office network.
- Off-Site: If the user tries to log in from a home Wi-Fi or mobile data network, systemHUB will block access, even if they have entered the correct username and password.
🎉 You're All Set!
You have successfully restricted systemHUB access to your corporate network. Your company's operational knowledge is now securely protected from unauthorized, off-site viewing.
