Use the Allowed IP Addresses setting to limit user and device logins to the Cloud Control Room based on IP addresses or subnets that you specify in a list. You can add multiple IP address ranges using the Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) format.

Note:
  • The Allowed IP Addresses feature is limited to Cloud deployments.
  • If a user attempts to log in to the Cloud Control Room using an IP address that is not included in the allowed IP addresses list, an error message displays indicating invalid user or user credentials.

    If the allowed IP addresses list is set up incorrectly, reach out to Automation Anywhere Support for help. For more information, see A360 | Reset Network Access list.

  • For seamless connectivity of your API Tasks cloud instances with the Cloud Control Room, specify the list outbound NAT IP addresses that are allowed to access the Cloud Control Room URL. For more information on the outbound NAT IP addresses based on your region, see API Task IP addresses for external integrations.
  • When using SAML for authentication, use the network access capabilities of the Identify provider to restrict access to specific allowed IP addresses. Ensure all allowed IP addresses configured are removed before switching to SAML for authentication. For more information, see A360 | Reset Network Access list.

Procedure

Perform the following steps to add an IP address or subnet to the list of permitted network access addresses:

  1. Log in to the Control Room as the administrator.
  2. Navigate to Administration > Settings > Network settings.
  3. Click Edit to add to or edit the listed IP addresses.
    Note:
    • Specify a list of IP addresses or IP subnets to permit access to the Cloud Control Room URL and API. If your network egress uses dynamic IP addresses, then the ranges you enter must include the entire range of dynamic IP addresses that can be assigned outbound traffic. For example, to specify a single IP address use, 11.10.10.12/32; or to specify an IP address range, use 192.169.20.0/24.
    • There is a limit of 200 independent entries in the access permitted table. An entry can be a single IP address or an IP subnet.
  4. Enter the IP address information:
    OptionDescription
    Single IP address Enter the necessary IP address in x.x.x.x format.
    Range of IP addresses Enter the address in x.x.x.x format and specify the subnet mask.
  5. Enter the Name.
  6. Optional: Enter a description.
  7. Click Save changes.
