# Location Policy Connector

The Location Policy connector lets you check a user's IP and geographic location in your PingOne DaVinci flow.

You can use the Location Policy connector to:

* Implement risk intelligence by creating a location policy.

* Allow or deny requests from specified locales

## Setup

### Resources

Learn more in the following:

* DaVinci documentation:

  * [Adding a connector](https://docs.pingidentity.com/davinci/connectors/davinci_adding_a_connector.html)

  * [Using connectors securely](https://docs.pingidentity.com/davinci/connectors/davinci_using_connectors_securely.html)

  * [Using DaVinci flow templates](https://docs.pingidentity.com/davinci/flows/davinci_using_davinci_flow_templates.html)

### Configuring the Location Policy connector

In DaVinci, add a Location Policy connector. Learn more in [Adding a connector](https://docs.pingidentity.com/davinci/connectors/davinci_adding_a_connector.html).

This connector doesn't have a configuration at the environment level. You configure it in your flow instead.

## Using the connector in a flow

### Allow requests from specified locales

The connector has several capabilities that allow you to allow requests from specified locales:

* **Allow by CIDR Block or IP Range**

* **Allow by Location Name**

No special configuration is needed. Add the capability and populate its properties according to the help text.

### Deny requests from specified locales

The connector has several capabilities that allow you to deny requests from specified locales:

* **Deny by CIDR Block or IP Range**

* **Deny by Location Name**

No special configuration is needed. Add the capability and populate its properties according to the help text.
