Access Control

CSAP offers enhanced security with the access control feature. Access control enables admins to allow or block countries or IP addresses for allowing or restricting respective users to access the CSAP Analyst Portal.

Note

Ensure that you are connected to a public network to retrieve country and IP address details.

Configure Access Control for CSAP

You can configure access control for your CSAP application.

Before you Start

You must have the View and Create/Update permissions for the Access Control feature.

Steps

To apply access control mode, do the following:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Settings > Other Settings > Access Control.

  2. To activate access control, turn on the Enable Access Control toggle in the upper-right corner.

  3. Apply a Mode to Access Control: Admins can enable the allow access or block access mode. Allow access mode provides access only to users from the listed countries and IP ranges. On the other hand, the block access mode restricts access from the listed countries and IP ranges. It is a best practice to add your country and IP to the allowed list before enabling the feature.
