Network access

Network access

Network access rules limit which source addresses may reach your organisation's content. Configuring them needs network.manage.

How rules apply

Rules are evaluated per request against the caller's address. A request from outside the permitted set is refused before it reaches any content.

Lock yourself out and you will need support to get back in. Before enforcing a rule, confirm the address range you are adding covers the way you connect, including from home and whatever your VPN egresses as.

Coverage

Network rules govern access to your organisation's content. They do not apply to published public content: a blueprint you have made public stays reachable regardless of the rule.

To restrict who reads documentation, use visibility and reader authentication rather than network rules.

Client addresses

The address a rule is evaluated against is determined at the platform edge, not taken from a request header.
