Step 2: Authorize incoming connections to your Dashboards instance

Warning

NOTE: For security reasons, the default network configuration doesn't allow any incoming connections. It is thus critical that you authorize suitable IP addresses to successfully access your service.

In this step, select the Configuration tab. IP addresses must be authorized here before they can connect to your service.

In the IPs panel, enter the information for the IP you wish to authorize, then click the add + button and Save changes.
