Problem to solve

Group access restriction by IP addresses is a feature meant to secure access to Group resources only from certain allowed IP's or IP ranges.

Since enterprise users are usually under control of their IP addresses, they can properly set this up to only allow access only from those enterprise IP's.

However, there are integrations such as Slack that also access resources on the user's behalf, and since some of these can be hosted by a third-party the user is not under control of those IP's, potentially blocking the integration from interacting with the group altogether.
