IP Whitelist

The IP Whitelist page is found under Setup in the navigation menu and is only available to System Administrators.

IP Whitelist

Overview

The IP Whitelist feature allows you to restrict access to Fusion Online by specifying trusted IP address ranges. When one or more entries are added to the IP Whitelist, network traffic originating from any IP address outside the specified ranges will be blocked. This provides an additional layer of security by ensuring that only users accessing Fusion Online from approved locations can connect.

Creating a new rule

To create a new whitelist rule:

  1. Click the + create new rule link at the top of the page.

  2. Specify an IP range using either IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.0.0) or IPv6 (e.g., 2001:0db8::) format.

  3. Click Save to apply the rule.

You can add multiple IP ranges to cover all trusted locations, such as your office network or VPN IP addresses.

Be cautious when adding new IP whitelist rules. If the rules do not include your current IP address, you will lose access to Fusion Online immediately after saving. Make sure to verify your current IP address and include it in the whitelist before saving any changes.

Creating and editing a rule

Editing and deleting rules

  • To edit an existing rule, click on the IP range in the table view and update the IP range as needed.

  • To delete a rule, use the action menu in the IP range column and select Delete.

Use cases

The IP Whitelist is used to:

  • Restrict access to Fusion Online to your organization's internal network.

  • Allow only specific IP ranges, such as those from a corporate VPN or secure office locations.

  • Prevent unauthorized access from unknown or external IP addresses.

Managing an IP whitelist can become cumbersome if employees frequently need access to Fusion Online from new or changing locations. In such cases, implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) (see the Authentication documentation) provides a strong layer of security without the overhead of managing an IP whitelist, allowing users to authenticate securely from any location.
