4.3. Manage Conditional Access

In this section, you can additionally restrict user access to the Cloud Service Portal to increase security. This is achieved by enabling one or more access filter rules. The following Conditional Access Types are available:

  1. Access times - Allows you to restrict access based on days and times.
  2. SourceIP - Allows you to restrict access based on the source IP address or subnet.

Note

By default, access (without Conditional Access Rules) is not restricted.

4.3.1. Creating a Conditional Access Rule

For example, to restrict a user’s access time to Monday - Friday, 08:00 to 18:00 please create the following Conditional Access Rule:

  • To create a Conditional Access Rules for this user, first select the filter type Access times (1).
  • Now enter the desired Access time parameters for the Access Rule (2) and (3).

  • Finally, click on the Save button (5) to save the Access Rules!

Warning

4.3.2. Example - Restricting the source IP

For example, to restrict a user’s access to PublicIP address 178.158.100.100/32, please create the following Conditional Access Rule:

../_images/cp-ui-access-sourceip.png

4.3.3. Example - Restricting access time and source IP

You can also combine multiple conditional access rules as you wish. In this example, a time and sourceIP constraint is combined. Please pay attention to the correct linking logic (AND/OR) in the Operator column.

  • Now select the desired profile (2) and confirm your choice with the button Set profile to User

Warning

Falls Sie ihren eigenen User (Client-Adm) ein Profile zuweisen, welches keine User Verwaltngs-Berechtigungen hat, sperren Sie sich möglicherweise von dieser Berechtigung selbst aus. Wenden Sie sich in diesem Fall an ihren Enterprise Partner.
