Set up Azure App Service access restrictions

Note

Starting June 1, 2024, all newly created App Service apps will have the option to generate a unique default hostname using the naming convention <app-name>-<random-hash>.<region>.azurewebsites.net. Existing app names will remain unchanged.

Example: myapp-ds27dh7271aah175.westus-01.azurewebsites.net

For further details, refer to Unique Default Hostname for App Service Resource.

By setting up access restrictions, you can define a priority-ordered allow/deny list that controls network access to your app. The list can include IP addresses or Azure Virtual Network subnets. When there are one or more entries, an implicit deny all exists at the end of the list. To learn more about access restrictions, go to the access restrictions overview.

The access restriction capability works with all Azure App Service-hosted workloads. The workloads can include web apps, API apps, Linux apps, Linux custom containers and Functions.

When a request is made to your app, the FROM address is evaluated against the rules in your access restriction list. If the FROM address is in a subnet configured with service endpoints to Microsoft.Web, the source subnet is compared against the virtual network rules in your access restriction list. If the address isn't allowed access based on the rules in the list, the service replies with an HTTP 403 status code.

The access restriction capability is implemented in the App Service front-end roles, which are upstream of the worker hosts where your code runs. Therefore, access restrictions are effectively network access-control lists (ACLs).

The ability to restrict access to your web app from an Azure virtual network uses service endpoints. With service endpoints, you can restrict access to a multitenant service from selected subnets. It doesn't work to restrict traffic to apps that are hosted in an App Service Environment. If you're in an App Service Environment, you can control access to your app by applying IP address rules.

Note

The service endpoints must be enabled both on the networking side and for the Azure service that they're being enabled with. For a list of Azure services that support service endpoints, see Virtual Network service endpoints.

Manage access restriction rules in the portal

To add an access restriction rule to your app, do the following steps:

  1. Sign in to the Azure portal.

  2. Select the app that you want to add access restrictions to.

  3. On the left menu, select Networking.

  4. On the Networking page, under Inbound traffic configuration, select the Public network access setting.

    Screenshot of the App Service networking options page in the Azure portal.

  5. On the Access Restrictions page, review the list of access restriction rules that are defined for your app.

    Screenshot of the Access Restrictions page in the Azure portal, showing the list of access restriction rules defined for the selected app.

    The list displays all the current restrictions that are applied to the app. If you have a virtual network restriction on your app, the table shows whether the service endpoints are enabled for Microsoft.Web. If no restrictions are defined on your app and your unmatched rule isn't set to Deny, the app is accessible from anywhere.

Permissions

The following Role-based access control permissions on the subnet or at a higher level are required to configure access restrictions through Azure portal, CLI or when setting the site config properties directly:

Action Description
Microsoft.Web/sites/config/read Get Web App configuration settings
Microsoft.Web/sites/config/write Update Web App's configuration settings
Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/subnets/joinViaServiceEndpoint/action* Joins resource such as storage account or SQL database to a subnet
Microsoft.Web/sites/write** Update Web App settings

*only required when adding a virtual network (service endpoint) rule.

**only required if you're updating access restrictions through Azure portal.

If you're adding a service endpoint-based rule and the virtual network is in a different subscription than the app, you must ensure that the subscription with the virtual network is registered for the Microsoft.Web resource provider. You can explicitly register the provider by following this documentation, but also automatically registered when creating the first web app in a subscription.

Add an access restriction rule

To add an access restriction rule to your app, on the Access Restrictions page, select Add. The rule is only effective after saving.

Rules are enforced in priority order, starting from the lowest number in the Priority column. If you don't configure unmatched rule, an implicit deny all is in effect after you add even a single rule.

On the Add Access Restriction pane, when you create a rule, do the following:

  1. Under Action, select either Allow or Deny.

    Screenshot of the 'Add Access Restriction' pane.

  2. Optionally, enter a name and description of the rule.

  3. In the Priority box, enter a priority value.

  4. In the Type drop-down list, select the type of rule. The different types of rules are described in the following sections.

  5. Select Add rule after typing in the rule specific input to add the rule to the list.

Finally select Save back in the Access Restrictions page.

Note

  • There is a limit of 512 access restriction rules. If you require more than 512 access restriction rules, we suggest that you consider installing a standalone security product, such as Azure Front Door, Azure App Gateway, or an alternative WAF.

Set an IP address-based rule

Follow the procedure as outlined in the preceding section, but with the following addition:

  • For step 4, in the Type drop-down list, select IPv4 or IPv6.

Specify the IP Address Block in Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation for both the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. To specify an address, you can use something like 1.2.3.4/32, where the first four octets represent your IP address and /32 is the mask. The IPv4 CIDR notation for all addresses is 0.0.0.0/0. To learn more about CIDR notation, see Classless Inter-Domain Routing.

Note

IP-based access restriction rules only handle virtual network address ranges when your app is in an App Service Environment. If your app is in the multi-tenant service, you need to use service endpoints to restrict traffic to select subnets in your virtual network.

Set a service endpoint-based rule

  • For step 4, in the Type drop-down list, select Virtual Network.

    Screenshot of the 'Add Restriction' pane with the Virtual Network type selected.

Specify the Subscription, Virtual Network, and Subnet drop-down lists, matching what you want to restrict access to.

By using service endpoints, you can restrict access to selected Azure virtual network subnets. If service endpoints aren't already enabled with Microsoft.Web for the subnet that you selected, they're automatically enabled unless you select the Ignore missing Microsoft.Web service endpoints check box. The scenario where you might want to enable service endpoints on the app but not the subnet depends mainly on whether you have the permissions to enable them on the subnet.

If you need someone else to enable service endpoints on the subnet, select the Ignore missing Microsoft.Web service endpoints check box. Your app is configured for service endpoints in anticipation of having them enabled later on the subnet.

You can't use service endpoints to restrict access to apps that run in an App Service Environment. When your app is in an App Service Environment, you can control access to it by applying IP access rules.

With service endpoints, you can configure your app with application gateways or other web application firewall (WAF) devices. You can also configure multi-tier applications with secure back ends. For more information, see Networking features and App Service and Application Gateway integration with service endpoints.

Note

  • Service endpoints aren't supported for web apps that use IP-based TLS/SSL bindings with a virtual IP (VIP).

Set a service tag-based rule

  • For step 4, in the Type drop-down list, select Service Tag.

    Screenshot of the 'Add Restriction' pane with the Service Tag type selected.

All publicly available service tags are supported in access restriction rules. Each service tag represents a list of IP ranges from Azure services. A list of these services and links to the specific ranges can be found in the service tag documentation. Use Azure Resource Manager templates or scripting to configure more advanced rules like regional scoped rules.

Note

When creating service tag-based rules through Azure portal or Azure CLI you will need read access at the subscription level to get the full list of service tags for selection/validation. In addition, the Microsoft.Network resource provider needs to be registered on the subscription.

Edit a rule

  1. To begin editing an existing access restriction rule, on the Access Restrictions page, select the rule you want to edit.

  2. On the Edit Access Restriction pane, make your changes, and then select Update rule.

  3. Select Save to save the changes.

    Screenshot of the 'Edit Access Restriction' pane in the Azure portal, showing the fields for an existing access restriction rule.

    Note

    When you edit a rule, you can't switch between rule types.

Delete a rule

  1. To delete a rule, on the Access Restrictions page, check the rule or rules you want to delete, and then select Delete.

  2. Select Save to save the changes.

Screenshot of the 'Access Restrictions' page, showing the 'Remove' ellipsis next to the access restriction rule to be deleted.

Access restriction advanced scenarios

The following sections describe some advanced scenarios using access restrictions.

Filter by http header

As part of any rule, you can add http header filters. The following http header names are supported:

  • X-Forwarded-For
  • X-Forwarded-Host
  • X-Azure-FDID
  • X-FD-HealthProbe

For each header name, you can add up to eight values separated by comma. The http header filters are evaluated after the rule itself and both conditions must be true for the rule to apply.

Multi-source rules

Multi-source rules allow you to combine up to eight IP ranges or eight Service Tags in a single rule. You use multi-source rules if you have more than 512 IP ranges or you want to create logical rules. Logical rules could be where multiple IP ranges are combined with a single http header filter.

Multi-source rules are defined the same way you define single-source rules, but with each range separated with comma.

PowerShell example:

Add-AzWebAppAccessRestrictionRule -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup" -WebAppName "AppName" `
  -Name "Multi-source rule" -IpAddress "192.168.1.0/24,192.168.10.0/24,192.168.100.0/24" `
  -Priority 100 -Action Allow

Block a single IP address

For a scenario where you want to explicitly block a single IP address or a block of IP addresses, but allow access to everything else, add a Deny rule for the specific IP address and configure the unmatched rule action to Allow.

Screenshot of the 'Access Restrictions' page in the Azure portal, showing a single blocked IP address.

Restrict access to an SCM site

In addition to being able to control access to your app, you can restrict access to the SCM (Advanced tool) site used by your app. The SCM site is both the web deploy endpoint and the Kudu console. You can assign access restrictions to the SCM site from the app separately or use the same set of restrictions for both the app and the SCM site. When you select the Use main site rules check box, the rules list is hidden, and it uses the rules from the main site. If you clear the check box, your SCM site settings appear again.

Screenshot of the 'Access Restrictions' page in the Azure portal, showing that no access restrictions are set for the SCM site or the app.

Restrict access to a specific Azure Front Door instance

Traffic from Azure Front Door to your application originates from a well known set of IP ranges defined in the AzureFrontDoor.Backend service tag. Using a service tag restriction rule, you can restrict traffic to only originate from Azure Front Door. To ensure traffic only originates from your specific instance, you need to further filter the incoming requests based on the unique http header that Azure Front Door sends.

Screenshot of the 'Access Restrictions' page in the Azure portal, showing how to add Azure Front Door restriction.

PowerShell example:

$afd = Get-AzFrontDoor -Name "MyFrontDoorInstanceName"
Add-AzWebAppAccessRestrictionRule -ResourceGroupName "ResourceGroup" -WebAppName "AppName" `
  -Name "Front Door example rule" -Priority 100 -Action Allow -ServiceTag AzureFrontDoor.Backend `
  -HttpHeader @{'x-azure-fdid' = $afd.FrontDoorId}
