About Team Security Settings

Business team administrators can adjust team security options from the Settings section of the My Team page. Team administrators can:

 

  • Only allow access to your workspaces from certain IP ranges (e.g. from your offices)
  • Adjust who can join your team. Join by invitation only or allow all users from certain domains to be automatically approved.
  • Display users' full names instead of first names.
  • Restrict the use of certain features, including the ability to share and publish mind maps.
  • Backup and export their team's data via SSH or FTPS.

Only Allow Access to Your Workspaces From Certain IP Ranges

You can restrict access to your team's mind maps and make them only accessible from certain IP ranges (e.g. from your offices). To do this:
