The IP Access Control List can only be managed by users with the Client Administrator role from the ‘My Organisation’ page.
The IP Access Control List provides organisations with a security tool to limit where their MyEROAD can be accessed from, by specifying the list of permitted IP addresses (computer locations).
The IP addresses setup will apply to all users within the organisation. If no IP addresses are setup then users of the organisation can access MyEROAD from any computer location using a valid user name and a password.
Important Notes:
- No access would be possible for Mobile devices while outside the WLAN network of the allowed IP address
- The IP address entered should be a static IP address so the user can reliably log into MyEROAD
- It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that IP addresses entered are valid
How to get started
Email support@eroad.co.nz with a request to enable IP Access Control.
This can only be requested by the Client Administrator, and request needs to be in writing. Requests from other user roles will be disregarded.

Partner Gateways
Partner Gateways are API keys providing an enriched view of your vehicle activity, giving fleet managers a centralised view of the status of their fleet. Container temperature, load weight, job lists and other key information held by these systems can be monitored in MyEROAD once a gateway is established.
We encourage customers to use MyEROAD’s Integrations section for partner gateways. This article documents a common API workflow for setting up Partner Gateways as they appear in the My organization section.
To set up an API key:
- Administration > My Organization.
- Add (in Partner Gateways)
- In the Partner Gateway window, enter an informative name. The Group/Tab and Link are optional.
- Check Enabled to receive data via this gateway. (Unchecking disables the gateway, but does not delete it.)
- Save.
MyEROAD will generate a unique API key, now displayed under this Partner Gateway entry.
Security Info
EROAD strongly recommends against pasting this API Key online, forwarding the key via email, or committing it to a repository. Treat it as you would your password.
Contact your partner system provider and supply the API Key along with a link to the technical instructions. Provide information on your requirements for setting up alarm levels for incoming data from the partner system, if required.
Once the gateway has been set up by your partner system provider, incoming data will show in the Activity screen.
