So the admin would define the IP range right ? And per IP there will be only one username allowed right ? Also when the user accesses the site from the allowed IP why not auto login instead of asking the user if they want to login ?
IP range authentication method is very much used by institutions that want their members to access a website and see the contents already paid by the institution. In the meantime, there might be cases when the users may want to access the same website as a single user using their own personal usernames and passwords. So they want to have the option of logging in as a member of an institution, or as a single user.
Sorry for the delay.
Thank you for the details.
So I feel the best option to go would be a setting in admin panel to Login immediately upon accessing the site (which will be the default) or by clicking a button.
We will add this soon.
and the third option:
Upon accessing specific pages or page ranges; for example:
https://www.domain.com/sample-page
https://www.domain.com/sample-pages/*
visiting any other pages logs the user out automatically (like changing the IP)
