1. Why Domain Verification is Important

Domain verification helps you manage users more effectively by ensuring that only users with your organization's verified domain can be added as managed users. This process:

  • Automatically assigns users to your organization as managed users when they register with your domain.

  • Includes existing users whose emails match the verified domain, making them part of the managed users group.

Once your domain is verified, you gain greater control over the users in your organization, enabling features such as:

  • Force password resets for managed users.

  • Viewing past sessions of users.

  • Enforcing additional security measures, such as forcing two-factor authentication (2FA) for all managed users.

2. Verifying Your Domain

To verify your domain:

  1. Navigate to the Domain Verification Section:

    • Go to your Admin Panel and find the Domain Verification section under your organization's settings.

  2. Provide DNS Records:

    • You will be asked to add DNS records to your domain’s DNS settings. These records are used to verify that you own the domain.

    • The platform will provide the exact DNS records (such as a TXT record) that you need to add to your DNS settings.

  3. Add the DNS Records:

    • Log in to your domain provider’s management console (e.g., GoDaddy, Cloudflare, etc.).

    • Add the DNS records provided by the platform to the DNS settings for your domain.

  4. Complete Verification:

    • After adding the DNS records, return to the platform and click Verify.

    • The platform will check the DNS records and verify the domain ownership.

    • Once verification is successful, your domain will be listed as verified.

3. What Happens After Verification

Once your domain is verified:

  • Any new user registrations with your domain will automatically add them as managed users.

  • Existing users with email addresses matching the verified domain will also be included as managed users in your organization.

4. Managing Managed Users

As an admin, you will gain enhanced control over your managed users:

  • Force password resets for any managed user if necessary.

  • Review and monitor past sessions of managed users, including details such as IP addresses, locations, and devices used.

  • Enforce additional security measures for managed users, such as enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) across your organization.
