1. Point your browser to Google and search for “What is my IP address”
2. Login to Showroom Exchange & select the username you wish
to limit access to under “Setup Categories | Showroom Users”
3. Scroll down and enter your IP address under “Access IPs” and click save.
* * * note: you can enter multiple locations by separating them with a comma * * *
