Domain verification by DNS TXT record

View as Markdown

Organization admins can verify that their organization controls an email domain by publishing a single DNS TXT record and then adding the domain in the SSO settings.

Once the domain has been verified, the organization can use it as part of its SSO configuration. This allows users whose email addresses belong to the verified domain and are already added to the corporate SAML settings, to be recognized and sign in through the configured SSO setup.

For example, if an organization verifies example.com in its SSO settings, users with @example.com email addresses can be recognized as belonging to that organization when they sign in.

Note

SSO is available on the Enterprise Plan.
