2. On the Preferences tab, click the Administer Access Control link.

3. Select the entire server from the drop-down list, click Select, and then click the corresponding Edit button.

5. Add another rule to allow access to a specific group.

6. Use From Host to specify the host names and IP addresses you want to restrict.
