Security Settings

Server Security Settings manages root credentials, API access policy, source restrictions, and other provider-level security controls.

Where to find it: Sign in as root, open Server > Configuration, then choose Security Settings.

Available to: Root only.

What this page does

Use Security Settings to review and manage the corresponding server-wide policy. The page shows the supported values and applies them through SHM's normal validation and runtime workflow.

Before you start

Security controls can also block legitimate traffic. Review evidence first, prefer monitor or narrow exceptions where available, and verify both the protection and the customer service after saving.

Why use it — and when not to

Use Security Settings to reduce a specific, evidenced risk. Avoid broad blocks, global disables, or permanent exceptions when a monitor mode or narrower rule can solve the same problem.

How to use it

1. Open Security Settings in the correct role and confirm the selected target.
2. Review the current values before editing them.
3. Change only the fields required for the task and read any confirmation carefully.
4. Wait for a final result, then test the affected service or resource.

Result and next check

SHM validates the submitted policy, saves it, and applies or schedules the required runtime changes. Verify the refreshed state and the affected service before leaving the page.
