Add label to trusted sources

Jop R

It would be great to have the ability to add a descriptive label to the trusted sources (IP's) that have access to the managed databases. Making it easier to clean up outdated trusted sources this improving security.

Hi Everyone! We now have the ability to add a descriptive label to all trusted sources in both the UI and API. 
UI: Navigate to the new "Network Access" tab on your managed database. This new dedicated tab for trusted sources allows for an optional description to be provided with each new rule.
API: A new optional property description
 can now be set/fetched on firewall rules.

Please please add this, it's totally weird having a list of bare IP addresses! At the very least, add some kind of label for your own products, like Snapshooter.

This would be very helpful!

Voting for this as well. And as a bonus, adding the option for these to expire automatically after a given time.

Michael Koderisch: Yes, indeed. Mongo Atlas does this nicely if you would like some inspiration.

I would also like to see this implemented so it is clear which IP address belongs to which team member. Or is there any way how to create a tunnel with

doctl

so we don't need to add IP addresses of all team members to trusted sources? I haven't found anything like that in the documentation.

Andy Koch

This is much needed.

Can we get an update or increase the priority of this idea? It'll help a lot of us.
