Managing IP Ranges

In MapStore, the IP Ranges Manager is an administrative tool designed to manage IP Ranges used as an access control method for resources. Administrative users can assign one or more existing IP ranges to a resource through the Permission Rules properties, allowing access based on specific IP addresses.

As an admin user, it is possible to manage IP Ranges by selecting Manage IP Ranges option from the button on the Homepage:

The Manager page opens on IP Ranges tab, allowing the admin user to:

  • Create a New IP Ranges through the button and customize it by adding a IP Range (CIDR format) and a Description.

  • Search for a tag using the search bar

  • Edit a tag through the button next to each tag in the list.

  • Remove a tag through the button next to each tag in the list.

Warning

When both Groups and IP Range permission rules are defined for a MapStore resource, the group rules have priority. For example, if a user belongs to a group with Edit permissions on a resource but is also within an IP range that has only View permissions, the user will still have Edit rights for that resource.
