Explicit Access to Admin URL

Overview​

Explicit Access Control for Admin URLs is a security feature designed to protect sensitive administrative URLs (e.g. /ecp, /admin, /wp-admin) by restricting access based on client IP addresses. It allows administrators to block or allow access to admin specific URL paths while explicitly permitting access only from trusted IP addresses. This feature helps prevent unauthorized access to administrative interfaces such as control panels or management endpoints.
