Software Access only while on VPN

Hello all - is it possible to only allow organizational users access to Smartsheet if they are connected to our Azure VPN? Or does anyone have any solutions for this or ideas? We want our approved domain users only to be able to log into Smartsheet if they are connected to our VPN.

Thank you for your time, thoughts, ideas….Michael

    Hi @MHalvey

    If you configure SAML SSO and make the account login SAML-strict, then your users will only be able to login to Smartsheet while connected to VPN (as long as your SAML IdP is only accessible through VPN).

    However, keep in mind that there is no way to configure Smartsheet to force a user to log out if they get disconnected from VPN.

    Cheers,
