These settings limit who may access the ListManager web interface by TCP/IP address. You may specify, for example, the IP addresses of the computers used by server administrators so others using different IP addresses may not access ListManager as a server admin. If blank, ListManager will not limit access by IP address.

IMPORTANT Changes made to this page only take effect after restarting the ListManager web server.

If a user attempts to log in with an IP that is not permitted for that administrative level, they will see a message indicating their IP address is not permitted.

Note that more lenient settings at higher levels do not make lower levels more lenient as well. For example if the TCP/IP for Server Admins is blank (permitting access from any TCP/IP address), but the TCP/IP for List Admins limits access to certain addresses, a list admin must log in from one of the permitted TCP/IP addresses.

If the server admin inadvertently locks out access to the web interface using these settings, the command reset_tcpip_server_admin may be run on the command line to reset server admin access. See Setting Server Options for more information about this command.

TCP/IP for Discussion Forum Interface

Specifies the TCP/IP addresses that may access the discussion forum interface. If blank, all TCP/IP addresses can access the discussion forum interface; if 0.0.0.0, no one can.

Enter one TCP address or range of addresses per line. Example:

192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1-192.168.0.10

TCP/IP for List Admins

Specifies the TCP/IP addresses that may access the list admin interface. If blank, all TCP/IP addresses can access the list admin interface; if 0.0.0.0, no one can.

Enter one TCP address or range of addresses per line. Example:

192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1-192.168.0.10

TCP/IP for Site Admins

Specifies the TCP/IP addresses that may access the site admin interface. If blank, all TCP/IP addresses can access the site admin interface; if 0.0.0.0, no one can.

Enter one TCP address or range of addresses per line. Example:

192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1-192.168.0.10

If a site TCP/IP address is not approved, the admin can still log in to the next level of admin access they have rights to. For example, if you are a site admin only, you will be completely denied access. If you are a site admin and a list admin, and the site admin access is denied, you will be allowed access as a list admin.

TCP/IP for Server Admins

Specifies the TCP/IP addresses that may access the server admin interface. If blank, all TCP/IP addresses can access the server admin interface; if 0.0.0.0, no one can.

Enter one TCP address or range of addresses per line. Example:

192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1-192.168.0.10

If a server TCP/IP address is not approved, the admin can still log in to the highest allowed admin rights permitted to that address. For example, if a server admin's TCP/IP address is allowed for a site admin but not a server admin, that admin would still have site admin rights.

TCP/IP for API admins

Specifies the TCP/IP addresses that may access the API. If blank, all TCP/IP addresses can access the API; if 0.0.0.0, no one can.

Enter one TCP address or range of addresses per line. Example:

192.168.0.1
192.168.0.1-192.168.0.10
