Access can be allowed or denied depending on location. From an entire country to a city. There are in fact two Access Control - Location policies. Access Control - Location and Access Control Location(IPV6)
They both do the same thing, except one uses IPv4ocation addresses, the other IPv6Location addresses
Before you can create the policies you first need to download and import an IP geolocation database.
...
Control by geographic locations allows you to restrict access to applications by users from some specific countries or cities.
A pre-requisite to implementing access control by geo location is to have the geo-location data.

Access control by Geo Location is implemented by creating an "Access Control - Location" policy. The example below creates an access control system that denies access to all applications if a user is located in Russia or Noth Korea.
Please note that with this policy in place, if a user is not located in Russia or North Korea, then the user will be allowed access to all applications.
Please also note the following
- this policy applies to all users in the system, as the policyholder is "System"
- this policy applies to all applications, as there is no application specified
