### Allowing Access
Jellyfin provides flexible access control options. External access can either be completely disabled or selectively enabled for individual users.
For these controls to function correctly, Jellyfin must know which IP ranges should be considered part of the local network.
These ranges can be configured under `Networking` -> `Local Networks` using comma-separated CIDR notation entries.
Global external access settings can be configured under `Networking` -> `Remote Access Settings`.
User-specific external access permissions can be configured under `Users` -> `Edit User` -> `Allow remote connections to this server`.
Ensure that the configured access permissions align with the network scope defined in the local network settings.
### Firewall / Port Forwarding

Some basic networking options can be configured on this page. For most users, it is recommended to **enable** the "Allow remote access to this server" option.
Detailed information about remote access configuration can be found in our dedicated [Networking Guide](./networking/index.md#allowing-access).
Since "automatic port mapping" relies on UPnP, a protocol commonly associated with security concerns, it is recommended to **disable** this option unless it is specifically required.
