Configuring Allowed IPs

When you are dealing with data, security is a major concern. You need to make sure that your data in Zoho Workerly is not accessed from an insecure network. You may even prefer your team accessing Workerly only from the office. For the same reason, logging in to Zoho Workerly and using it can be restricted to specific IP Addresses only.

With the Allowed IPs feature, an administrator can add the IPs for individual users, users in a role or a group. Users can log in to Zoho Workerly only from these allowed IPs added by the Workerly administrator. This also applies to all the other Zoho products. So if you are not able to access Zoho Workerly from a specific IP, say your home office, then you will not be able to access even the other products like Zoho Mail, Zoho Docs, etc.

Add Allowed IPs

As an Administrator, you can add IPs through which users of your Workerly account can log in to access their account. You can mention only those trusted IPs from which the Zoho account can be accessed. Logging in through any other IP would give the "Access denied from this IP address" alert message to the user. This restriction will be applied while logging in from mobile devices and tablets too. Also, APIs using the user's Authtoken will not work from the IPs that are not allowed.

To add allowed IPs

1. Go to Setup > Users & Control > Security Control > Allowed IPs.
2. In the Allowed IPs page, click Add Allowed IPs.
3. In the Configure Allowed IPs page, select the SourceType.
