When I tested it(*), users didn't need to login - rather, if you access the website from a specific IP address/range you're automatically/invisibly given access as the associated usergroup and can view/download the restricted records and files.
I did notice that the "Login" option in the top menu still appeared instead of showing as logged in - but that made sense because the user isn't actually 'logged in' per se, only granted access for the moment based on current IP address.

I have read that in this scenario we have to enable IP Authentication. However, this plugin is based on authentication first to assign logged-in user to the group assigned the ip ranges. Is there a way to check the ip ranges and grant access without the need for the authentication step? -- All messages to this mailing list should adhere to the Code of Conduct: https://www.lyrasis.org/about/Pages/Code-of-Conduct.aspx --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
