How can I restrict access to Office Chat from outside?

Office Chat Admins can choose to allow only specific IP addresses to access their Network. 

To help protect your organization’s data from unauthorized access, you can specify a list of IP addresses from which users can log in. Users outside of the specified login IP ranges cannot access the web portal. 

Note: IP ranges between 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 are not accepted as these are private IP ranges and cannot be used on the internet. 

To restrict access on a single or on multiple IP ranges refer to the diagrams and steps below: 

  1.  Log in to Office Chat in your browser and go to the Admin Portal 
  2. Click on ‘Security’ from theleft hand navigation menu 
  3. Click on Browser Access and navigate to IP range configuration.
  4. Define one or more IP ranges & click on the “Save Settings” button to register your settings.
