Managing IP allow lists

  • Updated
Follow

An IP allow list specifies the trusted IP addresses or ranges from which an account user can access your IBM NS1 Connect account. You can apply an IP allow list to an individual user or API key, to a team of users and keys, or globally to apply to all account users.

Note

In order to create or modify IP allow lists for your NS1 Connect account, you must have the "Manage IP allow list" permission enabled.

Create a global IP allow list

Follow the instructions below to create a global IP allow list. By default, this list will be applied to all users and teams associated with your account.

  1. Click your username in the top right corner of the portal and navigate to Settings > Security settings.

  2. Click the Global IP allow lists tab.

    Account - Security settings - Global IP allow lists

  3. Click Add allow list.

  4. Enter a name for the IP allow list for internal reference.

  5. Enter one or more IP addresses or CIDR ranges, pressing the tab or return key between each entry.

  6. Click Save changes.

  7. Click Save Changes.

If your current IP address is not included in the global IP allow list you just configured, you will be prompted to include it or apply it to your individual account settings.

Create an IP allow list for a single user or API key

You can apply an IP allow list to an individual user or API key within the user/key settings.

  1. Click your username in the top right corner of the portal, and navigate to Settings > Users & Teams.
