IP restriction
What is an IP restriction?
IP restriction allows admins to limit access to specific portals/data by ensuring that the requesting IP address is predefined within an IP range or an “Allow list”. IP restriction adds an extra security layer and can be used to geographically limit access.
For example,

Admins can add multiple IP address in the range including masked IPs
