A Salesforce Administrator at Velocity Logistics has defined corporate IP addresses ( to ) under Organization-Wide Network Access. The Field Sales Profile has no IP ranges defined under its Profile Login IP Ranges section. A sales representative assigned to the Field Sales Profile attempts to log into Salesforce from home using an unrecognised IP address () with valid username and password credentials. What will occur during this login attempt?
- AThe user is completely blocked from logging in because their home IP address is not included in Network Access.
- The user is allowed to log in successfully after passing identity verification (such as entering a verification code).Answer
- CThe user logs in immediately without any security prompt because no IP ranges are specified on their profile.
- DThe login attempt is denied and the user account is automatically frozen until an administrator approves the new IP address.
Answer
The user is allowed to log in successfully after passing identity verification (such as entering a verification code).
When no Login IP Ranges are configured on a user's Profile, Organization-Wide Network Access settings dictate identity challenge requirements. Logging in from an IP address outside the trusted Network Access range prompts the user for identity verification (activation code), but does not block the login attempt.
