Description

Hello!

Tell me please.
Is there a way to allow/deny specific users to connect from specified networks?

Case:
It is necessary to prohibit several users from connecting to Rocket.Chat from the Internet, but leave the option to connect to RC to all other users. These few users should be able to connect only from local corporate networks.

Thank you in advanced
