Add a trusted IP range so users on that network skip identity verification at login. You need the Manage IP Addresses permission, usually held by a System Administrator.

  1. Open Network Access

    From Setup, type Network Access in the Quick Find box and select Network Access under the IP and Domain Access area.

  2. Start a new range

    Click New. You will enter the first and last address of the range you want to trust.

  3. Enter the start and end IP

    Type the Start IP Address and End IP Address. For a single host, use the same value in both fields. The range must stay within the Winter 26 size limits.

  4. Describe and save

    Add a short description naming the network, such as the office or VPN it belongs to, then click Save. The IPs are trusted immediately.

  5. Verify with a real login

    Have someone on that network log in and confirm they are not prompted for identity verification. Check Login History to see the source IP recorded.

Start IP Addressremember

The first address in the trusted range. Use a stable public IP your users actually log in from.

End IP Addressremember

The last address in the range. Set it equal to the start for a single trusted host.

Descriptionremember

A free-text label. Name the network and owner so future audits can tell why the range exists.

Gotchas
  • Network Access never blocks anyone. Outside-range users can still log in after passing identity verification, so do not use it as an access restriction.
  • As of Winter 26 a single IPv4 range is capped at 33,554,432 addresses and the org total at 16,777,216. Oversized ranges are rejected on save.
  • MFA still applies from trusted IPs. Trusted ranges remove identity verification, not the MFA step, so users in MFA-enforced orgs are still prompted.
  • Do not confuse this with profile Login IP Range. That setting denies login outside its range. Network Access only relaxes verification.
