# Set up Program Denied Lists as an Agency

You can manage a **partner denied list** and an **IP denied list** for your brand programs.

* The **partner denied list** prevents specific partners from applying to your brand's program and contracting with your brand.
* The **IP denied list** permits blocking of an individual IP address, or a range of IP addresses, from sending traffic to your brand's program. Use this denied list to block illegitimate traffic, to prevent sources from being credited, or to stop conversions from partners that submit action data from their own IP addresses.

#### Set up a denied list

1. From the left navigation menu, select **Advertisers**.
2. Next to the brand (formerly *advertiser*) for which you want to set up a denied list, in the *Actions column*, select ![](https://1033662419-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FokTNfAIjBtFchXJ9pC2q%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-df93ac0f80fc5cece7983980a5ce3fbcf19aabce%2F3ef9d737089bc07dbb7e4fd41a97edfbaec261e4f55ab3a1666f3daf957f69c3.svg?alt=media) **\[Drop-down menu]** **→ View Campaigns**.
