IP allowlists and access to departments of your ezyVet site
Use an IP allowlist to help prevent accidental staff sign-in to an incorrect department of your site. Incorrect sign-in can cause invoicing for an incorrect department and can cause financial records that are not accurate.
- General veterinary
- Surgery
- Speaks to their IT staff and gets the IP address information of the approved devices
- Configures the IP allowlist of the Surgery department with the IP address information
Result: When a person uses a device that is not approved to sign in to the department, ezyVet prevents the access.

Format of IP addresses in an IP allowlist
You could enter one IP address only for an IP allowlist. Then, ezyVet gives correct access to the device that has that IP address only. Staff that use other devices will see a warning or will not have access to the department.
You can also enter more than one IP address for an IP allowlist. To enter more than one IP address, put a comma between each IP address.
You can also use an asterisk to identify an IP address range. For example, to give access to devices that have addresses 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.34.2, enter 192.168.*.*
IP allowlists and the department selection list
You can configure ezyVet to show or hide a list of departments when a person signs in to ezyVet. (For the applicable procedure, refer to Remove the department selection list from the ezyVet sign-in screen.) If you set the IP allowlist to Restrict, ezyVet does not show the department in the selection list with a device that is not approved.
