Geo-restrictions for Controlled Video Access
Create a whitelist and blacklist of select IP addresses to allow or prevent access to your video content hosted on the enterprise video platform. Enforce viewing rules across portal playback, embeds, and shared links.
Whitelist trusted office networks, VPN exits, and partner ranges.
Blacklist suspicious IP ranges to reduce unauthorized viewing attempts.
Apply policies across portal playback, embeds, and share links.
Define allow/deny rules aligned to your geographic footprint.
Limit access to content that must stay within specific territories.
Use exemptions for approved teams, roles, or special cases.
Assign policies per library, folder, channel, or workspace.
Separate internal-only content from externally shareable assets.
Combine with role-based permissions for layered access control.
Stop playback when a request originates from blocked networks.
Protect public pages by limiting who can load the player.
Reduce accidental sharing beyond approved regions.
See who attempted access, from where, and what happened.
Export logs for compliance reporting and investigations.
Correlate events with user, content, and time-based signals.
Flag repeated blocked attempts for high-value assets.
Notify admins when a policy is triggered unusually often.
Use insights to tighten IP ranges and reduce false positives.
Executive communications
Keep leadership updates available only from corporate networks and approved VPNs.
Remote workforce
Allow distributed employees while blocking untrusted regions and anonymizers.
Partner training
Share training with partners without opening access globally.
Regulated industries
Support data residency and compliance needs with location-based viewing controls.
Education and onboarding
Prevent unauthorized access to internal learning libraries and exams.
Operations and security
Control viewing of incident footage and sensitive recordings by network location.
Top-of-mind Questions
What are Geo-restrictions in EnterpriseTube?
Geo-restrictions let you control video playback based on where a request comes from. You can allow or block access using IP address rules, and align playback to your geographic and network boundaries.
Can I create both an IP whitelist and a blacklist?
Yes. You can explicitly allow trusted IP addresses or ranges (whitelist) and deny risky or untrusted sources (blacklist). You can use either approach alone or combine both for layered control.
Do Geo-restrictions apply to embedded players and shared links?
Yes. The same access policies can be enforced across portal playback, embedded players, and share links—so restrictions remain active even when videos are viewed outside the main portal.
Can policies be different for different libraries or channels?
Yes. Assign stricter policies to sensitive libraries (e.g., executive meetings) and more flexible policies to general training or announcements. This helps teams balance access with security.
What happens when a viewer is blocked?
EnterpriseTube denies playback and records the event in access logs. Admins can review blocked attempts to understand patterns, verify enforcement, and fine-tune policy rules.
How does this work with role-based permissions and SSO?
Geo-restrictions complement identity and role-based access controls. Users still need the right permissions, and geo/IP rules provide an additional layer that constrains where playback can occur.
