Question

Difficulty: EasyLogin Security, Login IP Ranges, and Login Hours

A Salesforce Administrator at Cloud Heights Logistics is configuring login security controls for users assigned to the Support Specialist profile. The administrator configures specific IP ranges on the Support Specialist Profile and separate IP ranges under Organization-Wide Network Access.

Which two statements accurately describe how Salesforce enforces these IP restrictions? (Select 2 answers)

  1. Users attempting to log in from an IP address outside the Profile IP Ranges are completely blocked from accessing Salesforce.Answer
  2. Users logging in from an IP address within the Profile IP Ranges are granted access without receiving an identity verification prompt.Answer
  3. C
    Users attempting to log in from an IP address outside the Profile IP Ranges can gain access by completing an identity verification challenge.
  4. D
    Organization-Wide Network Access settings strictly block logins from unlisted IP addresses regardless of profile configuration.

Answer

Profile IP Ranges strictly deny login attempts from IP addresses outside the specified range. In addition, users logging in from IP addresses defined within Profile IP Ranges bypass identity verification prompts.
Profile IP Ranges enforce hard access restrictions. If an IP is outside the profile's allowed ranges, access is denied. If an IP is inside the profile's allowed ranges, the login is trusted and identity verification prompts are bypassed.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze the restriction behavior of Profile IP Ranges.
Profile IP Ranges act as a hard login boundary. If an IP address falls outside the specified profile ranges, Salesforce denies login completely.
Profile-level IP restrictions take precedence and enforce strict access control.
2
Analyze the identity verification behavior of Profile IP Ranges versus Organization-Wide Network Access.
If a user's IP address is within the Profile IP Ranges, login is allowed without requiring an identity verification prompt (such as SMS or email verification codes).
Organization-Wide Network Access (Trusted IP Ranges) only controls whether activation codes/MFA prompts are issued when profile restrictions are not blocking the login.

Key Concept

Profile IP Ranges enforce strict login denial for unlisted IP addresses and bypass identity verification for listed IPs, whereas Organization-Wide Network Access only controls identity verification prompts.
