How to disable access to Bluebeam services

This article applies to:

  • Studio
  • Bluebeam Cloud

If your company network policies don’t allow access to external, cloud-based Bluebeam services such as Studio or Bluebeam Cloud, then your IT admin/department can configure your system to block these platforms. Here’s how.

Disable Studio Access

To keep end users at your organization from accessing Studio, your IT/system admin can close the ports in your firewall or proxy server that are required for Studio connections. The hosts and port numbers are:

  • *.bluebeam.com:443
  • *.amazonaws.com:443
Revu is proxy aware, so please make sure the Force Proxy Use option in Revu > Preferences > Studio is deselected.
Revu preferences Studio options
Disable Force Proxy Use under Studio preferences before closing ports for your firewall or proxy server.

Additionally, IT/system admins can configure a list of allowed Studio servers and push the registry settings out to specific machines that require Studio access. Please contact Bluebeam Technical Support for further information and instructions. To get more answers to general questions, visit our Studio FAQs.

Block Bluebeam Cloud

At this time, Bluebeam Cloud access can’t be disabled for end users in the same way Studio access can be disabled. However, IT/system admins can block access to the Bluebeam Cloud web app (app.bluebeam.com).
