How to Add IP Address in Salesforce
Here’s a step-by-step tutorial to add an allowed IP address in Salesforce:
- Go to Setup on the top right.
- Search for Network Access in the Quick Find. You will find it under Security.
- Click on New.
- In the Start IP Address and End IP Address fields, define the allowed IP address range (in CIDR notation, e.g., 192.168.1.0/24).
- Enter a descriptive label for the IP range (e.g., "Allowed Login IPs").
- Click Save.
Note:
- Restricting logins by IP can be bypassed by users with access to VPNs or proxy servers. It's best used as an additional security layer.
- Restricting logins by IP is generally not recommended as a primary security measure due to potential limitations (e.g., dynamic IP addresses). It's often used in conjunction with other security features like two-factor authentication.
