🌐Whitelist an IP Address in Your EC2 Security Group

To provide access of your ui to a specific IP address (e.g., a team member), follow the steps below to update your EC2 security group settings:

Step 1: Locate Your EC2 Instance

  • Log in to the AWS Management Console.

  • In the search bar at the top, type EC2 and select it from the list of services.

  • In the EC2 Dashboard, click "Instances (running)" in the left-hand menu.

  • Find and select the EC2 instance you want to update by checking the box next to it.

Step 2: Access the Security Group

  • Go to the Security tab.

  • Under Security Groups, click the name of the security group.

Step 3: Edit Inbound Rules

  • In the Security Group details page, in the "Inbound rules" tab, click the "Edit inbound rules" button.

Step 4: Add the IP Address

  • Click "Add Rule".

  • Choose the appropriate type of traffic you want to allow (e.g., HTTP for port 80).

  • In the Source field, select "My IP" to add your current IP or choose "Custom" to enter a different IP address manually.

  • Optionally, you can add a description to help you remember why this IP was added.

Step 5: Save the Changes

  • Click "Save rules" to apply the changes.

The specified IP address is now whitelisted and will be able to access your ui as per the rule you configured.
