The IP Whitelist page of Organisation Administration (below) allows the following within an organisation: Organisation administrators can define a set of IP ranges from which Cocoon Data users can choose when sharing files with other people using SafeShare applications, including other client applications utilising the Cocoon Data Platform’s API. IP whitelisting helps Cocoon Data users ensure that files are only shareable with users who access Cocoon Data from an approved IP range. If a Cocoon Data user is not connected from a predefined IP range, then that user cannot access any file that has been specified via an IP whitelist. IP Whitelist page
