This restriction helps mitigate unauthorized access attempts, particularly those originating from high-risk or untrusted locations. Adding or removing countries from the named locations list supports security controls, such as Conditional Access policies, which enforce login restrictions based on geographic parameters. Keeping this list updated ensures compliance with potential organizational security policies and regulatory requirements while maintaining seamless access for authorized users. ### Management Options - [Login Country Addition](https://knowledge.sittadel.com/manage-country-login#Login-Country-Addition) - [Login Country Removal](https://knowledge.sittadel.com/manage-country-login#Login-Country-Removal) #### ![2024-12-17\_10-15-21](https://knowledge.sittadel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2024-12-17_10-15-21.png?width=670&height=81&name=2024-12-17_10-15-21.png) #### Login Country Addition: > **Purpose** > *Add a country to the named locations list to allow logins from that region.* > **Use Case** > *A remote employee is moving to a new country and requires access to company resources from their new location.* #### Login Country Removal: > **Purpose** > *Remove a country from the named locations list to block logins from that region.* > **Use Case** > *A country is identified as a high-risk region, and logins need to be restricted to enhance security.* *![2024-12-17\_10-15-21-1](https://knowledge.sittadel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2024-12-17_10-15-21-1.png?width=670&height=81&name=2024-12-17_10-15-21-1.png)* | ###### **Operation** | ###### **Action** | ###### **Target** | | --- | --- | --- | | Login Country Addition | **Addition** | Allowed Login Countries | | Login Country Removal | **Removal** | Allowed Login Countries | #### ![](https://knowledge.sittadel.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-15-2024-06-17-56-3267-PM.png?width=670&height=47&name=image-png-Nov-15-2024-06-17-56-3267-PM.png) ### **Login Country Addition** This operation adds a country to the named locations list in Entra ID, enabling logins from that region. **      1.
