Managing the access policy

DNS Manager lets you to set up an access policy for admin level users.

Overview

To access the Access policy page, click the Access button.

There are two types of access policies:

1. Deny 
   When this policy is configured, you cannot log in to the DNS Manager interface if your computer's IP is listed in the deny list. All the other IPs that are not included in the deny list can access the interface with an administrator account.

   This is the policy configured by default.

2. Allow
   When this policy is configured, you can only log in to the DNS Manager interface if your computer's IP address is listed in the allow list. All the other IPs that are not included in the allow list cannot access to the interface with an administrator account.
   

   You cannot set up both types of policies at the same time.
