I would have thought that IP authentication takes precedence. If a database host detects a request coming from an authorised IP address, then they probably will not bother to challenge the originator of the request for Athens credentials. That is what our experience here at Middlesex suggests, anyway.

I suspect this varies from provider to provider.
Some will merge the permissions, however I suspect that most will allow the Athens to supersede the IP as an individual's entitlement is always greater than their locations.
Thanks,

Hi,
Can someone clarify this question for me please:- where ATHENS and IP addresses are in place for authentication, which one is overridden?
Kind regards
