Configuring access to a WAN

Administrators can use an access control list to control which groups, departments, and users can attach and connect environments to a WAN (VPN or Skytap on Azure ExpressRoute connection).

By default, every new WAN is created without access restrictions, which allows any account user to attach, connect, detach, or disconnect an environment to that WAN.

Instructions

To configure access to the WAN
  1. From the navigation bar, click Manage > WANs.
