Restrict access to PowerApp based on user's IP address

Hi everyone,

 

I'm currently developing a series of PowerApps that will replace our current data entry system.

 

One of the security requirements we have is to limit access to the apps based on the user's IP address. So if the user's IP address is not on a pre-approved list, they would not be able to access the apps. I've found documentation on how to restrict access to SharePoint and Portals based on a user's IP address, but nothing clear on doing it to PowerApps.

 

Is it possible to restrict access to individual apps based on a user's IP address? If it's not possible at the app level, can it be done at the environment level?

 

Thanks everyone

    Hi @MagnusGöransson ,

     

    Originally, I thought that the O365 accounts were already more than enough since the only way a user can access their account is logging in with their token and then connecting to a VPN. But they wanted to apply an IP address lock as well. 

     

    What are some of the other ways we could secure the apps?

    Hi @HSheild ,

     

    Thanks for the guidance! I'm going to look into it and see if this will work for us.

    I think you should challenge the requirement to lock down based on IP. From what i see, that is what most companies are moving away from and instead move to a modern way to secure identities, devices and data.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    I'm sure that this cannot be done at the app level but is possible at the environment database (CDS) level.  Take a look at the following article.  I talks about Dynamics 365 but this is just CDS so should work for Power Platform environments with CDS.

    This won't stop access to the apps but it will stop access to the underlying data in CDS.
