Client Request:
“We need a more secure system to control access to our NetSuite account, ensuring that employees can only log in from specified locations based on their IP address. Can you provide a solution for these requirements?”
Solution:
Feature: IP ADDRESS RULES
NetSuite’s IP Address Rules feature effectively addresses these needs. By enabling this feature, you can create access rules for employees based on the IP address of the computers they use to log in. This means you can specify from which locations employees are allowed to access the NetSuite system.
The feature provides an intuitive user interface with an “IP Address Rules” field that appears on the Company Information page and on the Access subtab of employee records, simplifying the configuration of IP address restrictions. While it’s important to note that enabling this feature does not apply restrictions to preexisting customized roles, you can establish rules both company-wide and on an employee-specific basis, enhancing the security of your NetSuite account by controlling access based on the originating IP address of logins.
NetSuite’s IP Address Rules feature provides organizations with the ability to:
- Access Control: Create access rules for employees based on the IP address of the computer they use to log in. This feature allows you to specify from which locations employees can access the NetSuite system.
- User Interface Integration: By enabling this feature, an “IP Address Rules” field appears on the Company Information page and on the Access subtab of employee records, providing a user-friendly interface for configuring IP address restrictions.
- Important Note: It’s essential to understand that enabling the IP Address Rules feature does not retroactively apply IP address restrictions to preexisting customized roles.
- Flexibility: IP address rules can be configured both company-wide at Setup > Company > Company Information and on an employee-specific basis by setting rules on individual employee records.
