# Authorization

1. **Enable  max attempts:** The Super Admin can set a maximum number of login attempts for all users. If a user exceeds this limit by entering an incorrect password multiple times, their account will be temporarily locked. To regain access, the user must contact an administrator to request a password reset via an email link.
2. **Enable IP address:** The Admin can restrict access to the Tenant by allowing only specific IP addresses. This ensures that only approved environments, such as company devices or users connected through a designated internal VPN, can access the platform, enhancing security and control.
3. **Login Type:** The Admin can choose between different authentication methods for user access:

   * **Normal Login:** Standard password-based authentication.
   * **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):** Requires users to verify their identity using a third-party authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator), which generates a unique code for secure access.
   * **Optional 2FA:** Users can decide whether to enable Two-Factor Authentication for added security.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.g-iot.io/platform-user-guide-book/administration/tenant/authorization.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
