How to Configure Network Access

The IP Allowlist feature in TigerGraph Cloud 4 is designed to enhance the security of your data by controlling which networks can access your resources. By specifying allowed IP addresses or ranges, you can safeguard your data from unauthorized access, data exfiltration, and insider threats.

Accessing the IP Allowlist Configuration

To access the IP Allowlist configuration, navigate to the Network Access tab for your workgroup in TigerGraph Cloud 4. Here, you will find options to view, add, and manage the IP addresses that are permitted to access your data.

Your IP Address

Your current IP address is displayed at the top of the IP Allowlist configuration page. For example:

Your IP: xxx.xxx.39.130

If your IP address is already included in the IP Allowlist, it will be explicitly mentioned:

Your IP is included in the IP allowlist.
