Access only from your company network
If you like, your manual is only reachable from certain IP addresses, such as your office network. Administrators are exempt, so you never lock yourself out.
Some businesses want their manual opened only on their own premises, such as in the office or the workshop. Then it is not enough to know who signs in. Where from matters too.
How the allowlist works
In the administration you enter the IP addresses your manual should be reachable from: single IPv4 or IPv6 addresses, or whole ranges in CIDR notation, such as 192.0.2.0/24. Once you switch the allowlist on, Regelwerk refuses sign-ins from other addresses. Whoever is already signed in and changes networks no longer reaches the manual either.
If you switch the allowlist off, your entries stay saved and apply again as soon as you switch it back on.
Administrators are exempt
The allowlist applies to every account of your business except administrators. That way you do not lock yourself out when your office’s address changes, and you can adjust the list from anywhere.
Good to know before you switch it on
- A fixed address The allowlist needs your internet connection to have a fixed IP address. Your internet provider can tell you whether yours does.
- For fixed locations The allowlist suits teams that read in the office, the workshop, or the warehouse.
For a team that works on the move, device approval protects the manual: it is tied to the device, not to the place, and works on mobile data too.
Frequently asked questions
Is the allowlist switched on from the start?
No. It stays off until you add entries and switch it on.
How many entries can the list hold?
Up to 100 addresses or ranges.
What does someone see who comes from another address?
Their sign-in fails with the same message as a wrong password. Whoever was already signed in sees a note asking them to contact your business's administration.
