  • An IP address is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network.
  • IP blocking allows you to block or allow participants based on their IP address.
  • For example, restrict internal research studies to only your employees (IP address obtained through your IT department).
  • When accessing through Invitation Link, blocked participants are not allowed to take the study.
  • Blocked participants do not get to see a Site Intercept or Feedback Tab.
  • IP addresses are not stored and can't be connected to a participant's responses.

  1. Go to the Study Builder section of your study.
