This preference protects the system by blocking unauthorized users from accessing the staff client program and settings. Authorized and unauthorized users are determined by their computer’s IP addresses. When the preference is set to 『Require』, IP authorization is in effect and unauthorized IP addresses will be blocked.

If set to 『Yes』 it increases the security between library branches by:
prohibiting staff users from logging into another branch from within the staff interface,
filtering out patrons from patron searches who are not a part of the login branch conducting the search,
limiting the location choices to the login branch when adding or modifying an item record,
preventing users from other branch locations from placing holds or checking out materials from library branches other than their own, and
preventing staff from editing item records which belong to other library branches.
All of these security safeguards can be overridden only by the superlibrarian, the highest level of privileges.
警告
It is important that this value be set before going live and that it NOT be changed while in production.

For some systems the IP address changes frequently so you’ll want to set this preference to 『Disable』 to prevent Koha from logging you out of the staff client every time that happens.
Important
This is meant to help those whose IP address changes several times during the day, setting this preference to 『Disable』 is not recommended otherwise because it is removing important security features from your staff client.
