9. Under the Sign-In IP Address Restrictions section, in the Inclusion ranges field, enter the IP addresses
of the systems you want this user to be able to use as a client browsing this CMS. If you list multiple IP
addresses, separate them with a semicolon (;). Each range is a single IP address or two IP addresses
separated by a dash (-). The IP addresses must be entered in the standard dotted decimal notation, for
example, 15.1.54.133. Any spaces surrounding the semicolons or dashes are ignored. Spaces are
not allowed within a single IP address in the dotted decimal notation. Enter 0.0.0.0 to prevent a user
from logging in through a remote system.
Important: If browsing from the CMS, ensure all IP addresses of the CMS are properly included. If
browsing to localhost, ensure the loopback address 127.0.0.1 is also included.
10. In the Exclusion ranges field, enter the IP address of the systems that should be excluded from
management by this user or user group. Use the same format as in the previous step for Inclusion
ranges. Enter 0.0.0.0 to prevent a user from logging in through a remote system.
Note: Ensure that your inclusion and exclusion ranges do not overlap.
Note: The following five steps are only for a CMS running Windows.
