 my client is continually getting blocked from the site. this has to have something to do with how they are editing orders in the administrator for their store - because after they make edits to 5 items, they are being blocked. in the security exceptions log it's showing a login failure (even though they are logged in while trying to do this). I have had their ip address in the administrator ip whitelist, but this is still happening.

is there a way to prevent the blocking on a user basis as opposed to the ip? especially since they are using a dynamic ip which may change from the last time I whitelisted them.

thanks

Hello Robert,

the only option is to add the Login failure security exception to the Don't log these reasons field inside WAF config page.
In this way Admin Tools won't record login failures and he won't ban users. However please be aware that this will work for every user
