Introduction
SpotDraft offers IP restriction, an enhanced security feature that allows you to control who can access your workspace based on their IP address. This helps you protect sensitive information and ensure that only authorized users from specific locations can log in.
Understanding IP Restrictions
-
Whitelisted IPs: Your SpotDraft workspace can now be configured to be accessed only from a list of whitelisted IP addresses that you define.
-
Blocking Unlisted IPs: If a user tries to log in or access SpotDraft from an unlisted IP address, they will receive a blocking message. They will need to connect from a whitelisted IP address and refresh the page to access the app.

FAQ
- Why can I not toggle "Allow access to SpotDraft team" option?
It is crucial for the SpotDraft tech team to login to the workspace to provide support to our users whenever needed. To provide prompt resolution, the SpotDraft team can access the workspace from anywhere. That said, the team can access it only if they are a user in your workspace. - Can we whitelist IPv6?
No. At the moment, SpotDraft only supports IPv4.
