Domain Restriction

  • This functionality, located within the Advanced Settings tab, allows you to restrict/allow user access to the wordpress site based on the domain of their email address.
  • For the WordPress Multisite SSO Plugin, you can also restrict which group of users will have access to which subsite based on the domain of the user.
  • You can provide multiple domains to restrict by entering a domain value separated by semicolon(;).

It has the following 2 ways to use this feature :

  1. Allow users to login with specified domains : If enable this feature then only the users of specified domains will be allowed to login or register.

  2. Deny users to login with specified domains : If enable this feature then users of specified domains will be restricted to login. Remaining all the users will be allowed to login.

Domain Restriction

  • Now, for eg. If you want users of miniOrange (i.e. miniorange.com) to not log in to your site, then you can simply enter miniorange.com in the input tag and enable the toggle Allow/Deny user login based on email domain and select Deny radio button, if want to Deny the specified email domain.

Note - All above configuration steps and images are valid for Premium plugin v12.2.0 and above.

Advantages of Domain Restriction

  • Enables you to allow access to only a specified company domain.

  • You can control user access when multiple users exist in your Identity Provider but you want to allow only users with certain domains.
