Genesys Cloud provides administrators with an Allowed IP Addresses feature in Organization Settings that restricts account access to specified IP addresses for enhanced security control. Administrators can configure up to 150 CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) blocks, entering one CIDR per line (for example, 192.168.100.0/22), to define permitted access points for users, groups, and API-based applications. The administrator's own IP address must be included in the allowlist before activation to prevent account lockout.
The system supports only IPv4 addresses; IPv6 is not supported. IP addresses from Data Actions integrations are automatically whitelisted without manual entry, and WebRTC Media Helper and Genesys Tempo are allowed by default, enabling their use in VDI environments regardless of configured IP restrictions. If no IP addresses are entered, all IP addresses retain access. The feature includes validation that disables the Save button for incorrectly formatted CIDRs, and a CIDR Utility Tool is available for IP address conversion.
Administrators using dynamic IP addresses should not enable this functionality. Existing Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) policies restricting IP ranges function as a subset to the allowlist, with the allowlist taking precedence. Genesys recommends using only one access control method for simplicity; however, when both are configured, the Allowed IP Addresses list takes precedence and ABAC-restricted IP ranges must be a subset of it. Users with existing ABAC policies restricting IP ranges may skip allowlist configuration entirely.
