Enabling and Managing IP-Based Attendance Restrictions

Nov 04, 2019

HRStop allows administrators to restrict web-based attendance marking to specific IP addresses. This helps ensure that employees can only log attendance from authorized office locations, improving accuracy and control.


Enabling IP-Based Restrictions

To enable this feature, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Control Panel → Settings → Attendance → Configure
  2. Ensure the Enable Attendance Module checkbox is ticked
    This activates the attendance module for your portal.
  3. Tick the checkbox for Enable IP Based Restrictions
    This ensures that employees can only mark TimeIn/TimeOut from specified IP addresses.

Managing Allowed IP Addresses

Once IP restrictions are enabled, you can define which IPs are permitted:

  1. Click Manage Allowed IP
  2. On the newly opened page, you'll see the current list of allowed IPs
  3. To add a new IP address:
    • Enter the IP address in the input field
    • Click Add IP
    • The IP will be added to the list instantly
  4. To remove an existing IP, click the Delete icon under the Actions column

Final Notes

  • Any changes made here are applied instantly
  • Only users accessing the system from an allowed IP will see the TimeIn/TimeOut buttons on the web portal

This feature helps secure and regulate web attendance logging across your organization.
