# Network access

> Restrict Mintlify dashboard and editor access to trusted IP addresses and CIDR ranges by configuring an organization-wide IP allowlist.

<Info>
  Network access controls require an [Enterprise plan](https://mintlify.com/pricing?ref=network-access).
</Info>

Use an IP allowlist to restrict dashboard and editor access to trusted IP addresses and CIDR ranges. When you enable the allowlist, organization members can only sign in and use the dashboard and web editor from an allowed IP address.

The IP allowlist applies to your Mintlify dashboard and editor. It does not affect your published documentation site. API requests use separate IP controls.

You can allow access two ways:

* **Individual IP address**: Allow a single address, such as `203.0.113.7`.
* **CIDR range**: Allow a block of addresses, such as `10.0.0.0/8`. Use CIDR notation to grant access to an entire office or VPN network without listing each address individually.

## Configure the IP allowlist

<Warning>
  Add your current IP address to the allowlist before enabling it. If your address is not on the list, you can lock yourself out of the dashboard. The [Network access](https://app.mintlify.com/settings/organization/network-access) page displays your current IP address to help you avoid this.
</Warning>

1. In your Mintlify dashboard, navigate to the [Network access](https://app.mintlify.com/settings/organization/network-access) page.
2. Under **Allowed IP addresses**, enter an individual IP address (for example, `203.0.113.7`) or a CIDR range (for example, `10.0.0.0/8`).
3. Click **Add**.
4. Repeat for each address or range you want to allow.
5. Enable the allowlist to begin enforcing it.
