APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Restrict certain roles by IP address is not working.
    
    
    Configuration >> People >> Restrict by IP >> Restrict login by
    IP = 104.xxx.xxx.15.
    
    However, when trying to log in with a user that has the Content
    Author role and comes from IP address 104.xxx.xxx.15, they still
    have the Content Author role and can perform changes to content.
    
    This is a Drupal bug, it worked for Drupal 7 but doesn't fully
    work on Drupal 8.
    

Local fix

  • The workaround is to restrict a certain user to an IP range by
    navigating to People >> {username} >> Edit >> Restrict by IP
    settings and set it to a desired IP range.
    

Problem summary

  • Couldn't block users by role
    

Problem conclusion

  • Fix target at release v2018.4.1.9
    

Temporary fix
