# Platform Settings for FedRAMP

Set a session timeout to log out users after an interval of inactivity. Establish IP address restrictions to help ensure that only trusted sources can access the platform. See what URLs to allowlist so that the Own Government Platform can securely communicate with the Salesforce environment.

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-own_from_salesforce-264-0-0-production-enus/8ac98673-ede2-4046-a41e-2d5c846f24ff/images/icon_note.png)

Note Within the Own Government Cloud platform, single sign-on is the only authentication method available for login. Individual password settings, such as expiration and re-use, can't be configured by Master Admins.

    Allowlisting IP addresses and URLs is a critical configuration step. It helps ensure that the Own Government Cloud platform can securely communicate with the Salesforce org to perform automated backups, data seeding, and archiving.
