Short answer

The owner adds the hotel's public IPv4 address in the landing portal (Create IP WhiteList) and keeps Apply IP-Restriction ticked on the staff users who must be limited.

Steps

  1. Find the hotel's public IP (ask your internet provider, or search "what is my IP" from a hotel computer).
  2. On the landing portal click the three dots on the group card > Create IP WhiteList.
  3. Type the four parts of the address, a Description (for example Front office) and click Save.
  4. In PMS open User, click each user and tick Apply IP-Restriction (changeable only by the group's main user).
  5. Remove an address with the bin icon in the Action column.

The PMS screen #/setup/ip-allow-list (Property Setup > User & Access > Ip White List; the dialog has the four address parts Part 1 to Part 4 and a Remark) manages the same kind of list from inside PMS.

Check the result

IP Address added successfully. Restricted users can log in only from listed addresses.

Common problems

  • A user is blocked at home: expected; untick their restriction or add the address.
  • The hotel's IP changed (dynamic address): update the entry.
  • Owner users and users without the tick are not restricted.
  • Messages: Login messages.
