Format options for Access Control?
Looked for docs on this but found nothing.

Does it support only single IP or can we use CIDR formatting?

Looking for a few examples before getting locked out.

So you can enter a single address: 178.75.52.2

Or an entire subnet, in this case an entire Class C: 178.75.52.0/24

Most input fields in the UI that are anything above 1st grade usually have a mouse over help balloon with examples.

Just a note that if you take that tooltip literally, you'll get an error.

You cannot do something like "192.168.230.0/24, 192.168.240/27, 10.2.100.0/24" and label it something like "private blocks".

The tooltip suggests commas as a separator, but that's not the case, it's a list of individual examples that have to be entered one per line (was this close to debugging the JS to see why it wasn't allowing my input :) )

I'd suggest adding "one entry per line" or something be added there.

Also it is kind of awful UX to hide this in a tooltip (don't take my word for it, hire a UX engineer). A "?" icon would be so much more obvious and intuitive.
