A list of Access Control policies will appear underneath, If you have not yet created one then only the default system policy will display.
The default policy allows system-wide access to all applications at any time, by all users.
Do Not Delete or Edit the default system policy. Making any changes to this policy could result in you not being able to access the Administration Console even using the System Admin account.
It is best practice to create a separate policy.
Click the Create button on the top right.

Access control by IP is implemented by creating an "Access Control - IP" policy. The example below creates an access control system that grants all users in the domain "deepnetid.com" access to the application "self-service console" if the IP address of the user's device is in the range of "192.168.111.1 - 192.168.111.255". In other words, if the user's device is not in the IP range, then the user will be denied access to the application.
