IP Addresses Restriction

Planful allows a user ID to be logged in from multiple locations and devices. Administrators have the option to restrict the number of parallel sessions that a user is allowed to be logged into to comply with security policies.

Configure this task to allow users to have a maximum number of parallel sessions per user ID. Exceeding the maximum number will result in a message indicating that the user has exceeded the maximum number of sessions and return the user to the login page.

This configuration is optional and is applicable to login requests from a web browser only. By default, no restrictions are configured.

Description of Fields

Enable IP Restrictions - Select to enable IP restrictions for your application. By default, this checkbox is not selected.

Exempt All External User(s) - Select so that external users are not required to meet IP address restrictions. For example, if you need a Planful employee to access your application, that person is considered an external user. For a list of external users, access the User Management page under Maintenance.

Add IP address - Provide restrictions based on IP addresses. Enter an IP address (IP4 format), range of IP addresses, or CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) in which you want to restrict access to your Planful application.

Trusted IP addresses - Click the Add button to add the IP address, range of IP addresses, or CIDR to the Trusted IP addresses box. Users in this list logging in with a support IP address will be allowed to access Planful. If the IP address is not listed here, the user will be denied access. Select an IP address and click the Delete button to remove the address from the Trusted IP addresses box.

Exempted to Specific User(s) - Exempt users from IP restrictions.

• Unmapped User/User Group – A list of all users and user groups. Select a user and click the forward arrow to provide that user or user group with exempted restriction.

• Mapped User/User Group - A list of all users and user groups that are exempt from the restriction. To remove a user, select the user and click the back arrow.
