Assign IP to user

Hi,

Is it possible to assign IP to user to allow the user login from that IP only?

I am planning to allow one IP to users but there are times that user will move legitimately and therefore IP will change. When it happens, I want to allow that access on the new IP and remove access from previous IP

Thanks

Assigning a particular IP to the user isn’t available in s2Member, but there’s the Unique IP restriction. [hilite path]Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Restriction Options -› Unique IP Access Restrictions[/hilite]

You can set the restriction to just 1 IP, which will be whichever the user has the first time, and any other IP would trigger the restriction, until the restriction’s limit expires or you reset it in his profile.

If you still want to set the specific IP he can have, then you’ll need to find a plugin that allows that control.

I hope that helps. :)

Thanks for the reply but it doesn’t help.

so it seems to me that a legit user can only use his account whenever he registers. so if user registers from office, he wont be able to use his account at home. is this how it works?

is there at least a way to expire the IP at will. so if the user reports that he cant log in, I can at least set the first IP to expire and allow the user to log in.

Do you have acceptable way to ensure legit user logs in without problem and keep credential sharing detectable?

thanks

To reset the IP restrictions for a particular user, you can edit the user (Dashboard -> Users -> Edit) and then check the box that says Reset IP Restrictions and click the Update User button at the bottom.
