How do I manage IP access?


Managing IP Access on the Paytia Platform

Why Manage IP Access?

Managing IP access is essential for:

  1. Security: Restricting access to approved IP addresses ensures only authorized users can access sensitive data, reducing the risk of hacking or malicious activity.
  2. Compliance: Enforcing IP restrictions helps meet regulatory compliance standards, avoiding potential legal or financial penalties.
  3. Preventing Misuse: Controlling IP access prevents unauthorized sharing of login credentials, ensuring that only intended users access the service.

Steps to Manage IP Access

  1. Log in to the Merchant Portal:

    • Navigate to the Paytia merchant portal and sign in with your credentials.
  2. Access the IP Management Page:

    • Go to Account Security on the left-hand menu.
    • Select Manage IP Access.



Configuration Options

1. User Types

  • Determines which users are restricted to specific IP addresses:
    • All: Restricts all users of your Paytia account.
    • User: Applies restrictions to users only.
    • Sub User Company: Restricts users of associated companies.
    • Sub Admin: Restricts sub-admins only.

2. IP Types

  • Choose the type of IP address entry:
    • Host: Enter a single IP address.
    • IP/Subnet CIDR Range: Use a start IP and a subnet mask (e.g., 192.168.1.0/24).
    • Range: Specify a range of consecutive IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.100).

3. Host

  • Enter the IP address or range in the Host field. This identifies the specific devices allowed access.


Adding IP Access Details

  1. Select User Type: From the drop-down, choose the user category.
  2. Select IP Type: Specify whether the entry is a Host, Subnet, or Range.
  3. Enter the Host: Input the IP address or range.
  4. Add a Description: Provide additional details or justification for the IP restriction.
  5. Save Settings: Click the Save button to apply the configuration.

Example Use Cases

  1. Host Entry:

    • Restrict access to a single trusted IP address: 192.168.1.10.
  2. Subnet Entry:

    • Allow a subnet of IP addresses: 192.168.1.0/24.
  3. Range Entry:
