Secure User Access
Your Internet Protocol (IP) Address, like a physical address, is how your computer is identified in a network (internet). An IP Whitelist contains IP addresses that are declared safe by an Admin.
When you enable IP Whitelisting on YoCoBoard, only whitelisted users will have access to the application. This is useful if you want to filter out unauthorized access while allowing only whitelisted IP access to the application.
Note: Access to YoCoBoard will be denied even if a registered user tries to access it with a device that is not whitelisted.
1.1 Whitelisting IP addresses
- At the bottom of the YoCoBoard sidebar, click More Options (3 dots) icon next to your name.
- Choose Account Settings from the list.
- On the Account Settings pop-up, click the IP Whitelisting dropdown. You have the following options: Add Single IP, Remove IP, Add IP Range, Remove IP Range.
- You can whitelist a single IP address (usually for a single user) or a range of IPs (multiple users).
- To specify a single IP, choose Add Single IP from the drop-down. Type the IP address in the adjacent field and press the ENTER key.
Note: Pressing the ENTER key is important to record your entry. - You will find the new IP address displayed in the box. Click the Save button to update.
Note: The IP address should be typed as 4 sets of numbers separated by dots. Each set can have any number between 0 and 255. Example: 192.162.0.22.
- To specify a range, choose Add Single IP from the drop-down. Add the starting and ending IP addresses in the relevant fields. Press the ENTER key when done.
Note: Pressing the ENTER key is important to record your entries. - All the IP addresses within that range will be whitelisted and displayed in the box. Click the Save button to update.
1.2 Removing a whitelisted IP address
