Suspended users will be shown with an asterisk in the Manage
Access Control dialog's user groups.
To ban a user(s):
• by IP address: As for deletion of a user (above), but select IP address
from the drop-down list, then click the Ban button.
• by ISP/Organization: As for deletion of a user (above), but first click the
Lookup User button (this locates the user's ISP/organization network
address in the scrolling window above the button) then select
ISP/organization from the drop-down list, then click the Ban button.
To allow banning to take place, the user must have been logged
onto Serif Web Resources previously.
If a user's IP address, ISP or Organization is currently banned, it will appear in
an Unban drop-down list. This lets you review current bans. Of course,
banning may be reversed if a particular IP address or network is no longer
considered suspect.
To unban a user(s):
• Select a specific IP address (for an individual user) or network IP address
(for ISP/organization) from the Unban drop-down list. A specific IP
address will end with a number other than zero (e.g., 80.6.91.234),
whereas a network address for an ISP/organization will always ends with
zero (e.g., 80.6.91.0). The entry will also include the date the address was
banned.
• Click the Unban button. The IP address will be removed from the list.
