    Use the IP Restriction feature to grant or deny access to Rescue according to specified IP address ranges.

    Grant/Deny Access to All Components

    3. To deny access to all Rescue Components from all IP addresses except those specified, select Denied access and enter the appropriate Network ID.

      Result: Users of the Rescue account will be able to access Rescue components only from the address set as an exception.

    Grant/Deny Access to Technician Console

    By default, technicians can access the Technician Console from any IP address. You can grant or deny access to the Technician Console according to specified IP address ranges.

    These settings have no impact on external collaborating technicians.

      Result: Users in the Technician Group will be able to access the Technician Console only from the address set as an exception.
