Within Teamwork Desk, you can create a list of individual IP addresses to limit who can access your site.

Note: The allowed IP address access feature is available on Premium and Enterprise subscriptions.

Click your profile icon in the top right of your site and select Settings from the dropdown menu.




In the settings area, go to the General tab and select Advanced Security from the left navigation menu.

In the Allowed IP addresses section, you can restrict access to Teamwork Desk, your Help Docs sites, and the Customer Portal.

  • Only agents and customers who are within the allowed range of IP addresses will be able to access content.
  • Any agent or customer attempting access from other IP addresses will see a message indicating they are not authorized to view the content.


IP restriction application

Using the radio button options, you can select where to apply the IP restrictions.

To prevent the administrator currently managing the IP list from getting locked out, their IP address will be automatically added to the list.

  • None - disable all IP restrictions. 

    • When selected, any pre-existing IP addresses in the list will be retained.

    • You can still add and remove IP addresses from the list.

  • All - IP restrictions will be enabled for your Teamwork Desk site, Help Docs sites, and the Customer Portal.

    • If you already have an authentication option set on any of your Help Docs sites, those settings will be overridden by this Advanced Security setting.

  • Agents - agents attempting to login to Teamwork Desk will be restricted by IP.

  • Customers - restrict customer access to Help Docs sites and the Customer Portal by IP.


Note: Any third-party integrations using the API will be disrupted unless their IP address is listed.
