Often users want to improve the security of their system. The best method is to restrict access to the Limesurvey admin interface. One approach is to adjust your server settings to limit access to the admin backend. Another one is using our IP Range Login Limesurvey plugin.
This plugins allows to define a certain IP address range. It grants access to your admin interface only to people within a valid IP address. To all other users trying to log in, the plugin will restrict access. This is useful to only allow people from e.g. within the company’s network to log in to Limesurvey.
To make sure that you do not lock yourself out by invalid IP range settings, any Limesurvey Superadmin user is still allowed to log in.
