Banned IPs can be managed in Site Manager -> Administration -> Banned IPs. Alternatively, you can access the same page from CMS Desk -> Administration, but you can manage banned IPs only for the currently edited site.
From the Site drop-down list, choose the site you want to add the IP for and click the New banned IP link.
Enter the required details:

The following types are available: •Access to the website - users cannot access the site from the entered address at all •Login - users cannot log in from the entered address •Registration - users cannot register from the entered address •All user actions - users can enter the site from this IP, but specific actions will not be allowed |
