Why Enable IP Allowlisting?
Enhance your cloud security by combining your own internal enterprise security policies with Ardoq’s existing security practices. Blocking unauthorized access to your Ardoq organization and API, helps you reduce the risk of potential data breaches.
With IP Allowlisting, you can:
Secure on-site and remote access. Enable on-site and remote employees to safely access your Ardoq organization through approved networks only. For remote employees, you can authorize the external IP of your VPN provider.
Restrict API access and prevent API abuse. Ensure that programmatic access to your data is only possible from specific machines, servers, and services. Avoid attacks such as account takeovers, denial of service attacks, or code injections.
Have better access control. IP allowlisting is a more efficient approach to avoid security risks and threats than blocklisting. Protect your data against any unauthorized login attempts, not just known, identified threats.
How to Allow IP Addresses?
IP Allowlisting is available on the Enterprise plan only. You need the Admin user role to configure a list or range of IP addresses.
⚠️ Please make sure to allow your own IP address first to avoid accidental lockout. You will need to contact Support to enforce authorized IP addresses.
Navigate to "Preferences > Access control > IP allowlisting"
Click “Create new”
Enter the IP addresses you wish to authorize. Make sure to have included your own. Use either the IPv4 format, or CIDR to specify a mask size.
(Optional) Add a description for the given address.
Choose whether to authorize access for API requests only or API and login requests.
Click “Save Entry” to save the address to the allowlist.
(Optional) Click the "Blocked access message" tab to customize the message shown to blocked users, or leave empty to display the default message.
Contact our friendly Support team to help you enforce your saved IP addresses. Simply navigate to the left side bar and click on the chat icon to start a new conversation.
