Skyware allows you to add all the IP addresses used by your Property into the system. These may then be used in conjunction with Security Groups, if you wish to limit access to Skyware for different Users to specified areas of your Property or to specific machines within the Property. (Please call our support line at 877-759-9329 (SKY-WEB9), or email us at Support@SkywareSystems.com for further details).
If any User with IP address restricted access attempts to log in from an unauthorized IP address, the log in attempt will fail, and an error message will appear on the screen below the log in and password fields.
This is part of the OPTIONAL configuration for Skyware Systems. You may edit the configuration to suit your Property at any time if you have the appropriate access/authorization. This selection is part of the Property and System Configuration area of Skyware.
Note: If IP addresses are being used to limit User access via Security Groups, EVERY IP address entered on the IP Address Maintenance screen will provide access to Skyware - access may not be limited to a subset of the IP addresses at the current time.
