Setting up IP ranges in Maptician is useful for companies that are just using the Maptician app (desktop and/or mobile app) to track a user's Presence status, but also for companies that are wanting to use Microsoft's Entra (Azure Active Directory), Brivo Access Control, or OpenPath Access Control for other IP-based Presence tracking.
Wanting to setup Presence tracking that isn't just based on Maptician's app tracking?
IP Range Setup
Select IT & Cloud from the left-hand navigation bar. This will take you directly to the IP Ranges section.
If you do not see this section, please ensure that you have the correct permissions for IT & Cloud and IP Ranges.

Create an IP Range
- From the IP Range Management screen, click on Manage Ranges.

Complete the form to create your new IP range:
- Range Name: Choose an easy-to-remember name that reflects what the IP range will be associated with. It’s helpful to include the location and any relevant descriptive details about the range.
- Range Start: Enter the starting IP address of the range.
- Range End: Enter the ending IP address of the range. This can be the same as the Range Start if you're only adding a single IP.
- Range's Associated Location: Associate this IP range with a specific location so that when user activity is detected within this range, it is linked to the appropriate location.
- Record Access Events for this Range: Enable this option to log an entry in the Access Events column whenever user activity is detected within the specified IP range.
- Set Presence Based on Access Events for this Range: If Presence has been configured and this setting is enabled, user activity detected in this IP range will automatically update the user's location to match the associated location.
