This article will show you how to enable Web Console Geofence within your SafeConsole Server and what to do if you lock yourself out.
GeoFence Steps
-In order to enable Web Console Geofence you must first verify that you are logged into the Owner account.
-To view what account you are currently logged in as, select the admin tab. From there locate the green person icon - this is the account indicator. If you are signed in as the Owner account, you will find a red Owner indicator within the Roles column.
-After you have verified you are logged in as the Owner, you can scroll down and enable Admin GeoFencing by selecting the corresponding checkbox.
-You will be presented with three different ways to restrict it, IP address, Country, or ISP. You can choose to Allow (allow only access through approved sources) or Restrict (restrict access from specific sources).
