Configuring IP Address Validation in NetSuite

NetSuite provides a feature that allows you to assign multiple IP addresses to an employee record. During login, NetSuite verifies the employee’s current IP address against the addresses listed in their record. Access is granted only if there’s a match and the login credentials are correct. This feature can also be utilized to create access credentials for third-party integrations, ensuring IP validation for authorized access.
