-You can always configure your SAP settings on your VO account’s **Profile -Suspicious Access Prevention**.\\ + 
-If you are a mobile user who travels to multiple countries, you can simply **whitelist** accesses for your travelling countries, so that you can continue to login from those countries.\\ +===== How do I set my SAP setting? =====

-**Note:** You are advised to perform the whitelist action before travelling to the destination.\\ +By default, when you log in to your webmail account for the first time, the country (in which you are situated at that moment) will be registered as your usual login country. You can continue to log in from this country without any further setup as long as it is not reset (by you or your administrator). If it is reset, the usual login country will be captured again on your next "new" login.

-==== As admin, what can you do? ==== +If you need to travel to other countries, or if you are sharing your account with colleagues from another country, then you need to manually whitelist those countries in your SAP setting at **Profile** > **SAP**. For further details, please refer to [[faq:profile:how_to_login_from_other_countries_with_sap|How to login from other countries with SAP?]]

 +===== As admin, what can you do? ===== 
 +The administrators — **Avomaster** and **Voadmin** users — have the ability to **reset or turn on/off SAP** for users. For example, a user has travelled out of the country and need to access webmail but was blocked as the user did not whitelist the country in the SAP setting. In this case, the administrator can reset the user's SAP status so that the user can log in from another country. 
 + 
 +This setting can be accessed on **Profile** **Admin Tasks** **Account**, through each user’s account settings. Click [[faq:administrator:how_to_reset_user_s_sap_settings|here]] for detailed instructions.\\ 
 + 
 +Configuration of individual user SAP setting by administrator is not supported at the moment.
