Understanding access restrictions
The Customer ACL page enables you to limit incoming access to SCM to specific IP addresses and ranges by creating global and organization or department specific access restrictions. After creating a restriction by specifying one or more IP addresses or ranges in CIDR notation, only administrators attempting to log in from the specified addresses are granted access to SCM. Anyone who is blocked from accessing SCM because of a restriction is presented with a generic 403 Access Denied error.
Access restrictions can be managed on the
