The picture below shows the general screen for creating or editing access rules by IP address:
Name
The rule name is needed in order to easily manage a rule in the list. Use clear names that are descriptive and reflect what the rule does.
Rule applies
- For any network - use this option to create access rules for everyone; also use it for rules that restrict employee access after hours
 - For selected hosts - lets you set a list of IP addresses from which work is allowed
 - For subnets - gives you the ability to set a subnet mask with which users can access the account
 
Access
- For employees
 - For customers
 
Here the account owner adds a list of users for whom this rule applies.
Important
If no rules that apply to a certain user, they won't get Planfix access. Create rules carefully. If you have difficulty creating or using rules, contact our support team.
Examples of use
- Allow certain employees access during their working hours:
 - Restrict access for new employees so that they can only work in Planfix from the office:
 - Allow access from home and via a mobile router(with a static IP, of course):
