Manage IP policies

note

You only have access to the functionality described in this information if you are entitled to use Flexera One SaaS Management, and have the System administrator role, or a custom role which has the related permissions included in this default role, assigned to you in Roles in Flexera One SaaS Management Settings.

Learn how to manage your IP policies in your Flexera One SaaS Management product.

To apply IP policies to your Flexera One SaaS Management product, you must also add the same permitted IP addresses to Flexera One. For more information, see Managing IP Addresses. If you only set IP policies in Administration > Flexera One SaaS Management Settings > IP policies, the restrictions will not be applied to your Flexera One SaaS Management product.

Add IP policies​

In each IP policy that you create, you can add the IP addresses permitted to access your Flexera One SaaS Management product for a specific group, for example, all the permitted IP addresses for an office or facility in your organization.

Ensure that you add your current IP address to an IP policy to prevent losing access to your Flexera One SaaS Management product, and your current IP address must be part of the first IP policy that you enable.

  1. From the Administration menu, under Flexera One SaaS Management Settings, select IP policies.

  2. Select Add IP policy.

  3. Enter a name for the IP policy.

  4. Optional: To have the IP policy applied immediately when you save it, select the Enabled toggle.

    tip

You can also enable or disable the IP policy later from the IP policies page. For more information, see Enable or disable IP policies. :::

  1. Enter a single IP address or a range of IP addresses in CIDR notation. You must have at least one entry in a policy.

  2. Optional: Enter a description for the IP addresses entered.

  3. Optional: If you have more IP addresses to add, select Add more IP addresses, and repeat steps 5 and 6.

    note

If you want to remove a row from the IP policy, select the trash icon to the right of that row. You cannot include an empty row in the IP policy. :::

  1. When you have added all the IP addresses for this IP policy, select Save.

Access to your Flexera One SaaS Management product is restricted when at least one IP policy is enabled. If you enabled the policy in step 4, it is applied. If you left the policy disabled, you can enable it later. For more information, see Enable or disable IP policies.

Enable or disable IP policies​

An IP policy is only applied if it is enabled. When one or more IP policies are enabled, only the IP addresses included in those policies have access to your Flexera One SaaS Management product. All other IP addresses are denied access to your Flexera One SaaS Management product.

If you disable all of your IP policies, access is permitted to your Flexera One SaaS Management product from any IP address, if no restrictions have been applied in Flexera One.

  1. On the IP policies page, select the IP policies that you want to enable or disable.

  2. From Actions, select Enable or Disable.

tip

You can also enable or disable an IP policy when you add or edit it.

Edit IP policies​

You can edit only one IP policy at a time.

When you make changes, ensure that your current IP address remains part of an enabled IP policy to prevent losing access to your Flexera One SaaS Management product.

  1. On the IP policies page, select the IP policy that you want to edit.

  2. From Actions, select Edit.

  3. Do any of the following:

    • Make changes to the existing details.

    • To add more IP addresses, select Add more IP addresses.

    • To remove a row from your IP policy, select the trash icon to the right of that row. You cannot include an empty row in the IP policy.

  4. Select Save.

Access to your Flexera One SaaS Management product is restricted when at least one IP policy is enabled. If you enabled this policy, it is applied. If the policy is disabled, you can enable it later. For more information, see Enable or disable IP policies.

Delete IP policies​

If you delete all of your enabled IP policies, access is permitted to your Flexera One SaaS Management product from any IP address, if no restrictions have been applied in Flexera One.

If you are not deleting all of your enabled IP policies, ensure that your current IP address remains part of an enabled IP policy to prevent losing access to your Flexera One SaaS Management product.

  1. On the IP policies page, select the IP policies that you want to delete.

  2. From Actions, select Delete.

  3. In Delete IP policy, select Delete.
