# Verified Domains

Verified domains help your organization establish ownership of your company’s domain (e.g., yourcompany.com) within Docupilot. Once verified, your domain can be used to streamline user management, set-up and enforce Single Sign-On (SSO), and ensure secure access across your workspace.

#### Why Verify a Domain?

Verifying your domain ensures:

* Administrators can **enable SSO** for existing and new users under the verified domain.
* Only users with emails from verified domains can **join your Docupilot Organization via SSO**.
* Your organization maintains control over who can access Docupilot using your company domain.

#### How to Verify a Domain?

* Go to **Organization > Domains** in your org dashboard.
* Click **Add Domain** and enter your domain name (e.g., yourcompany.com).
* Copy the **TXT record** displayed on screen.
* Configure the TXT record in your DNS console (GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Name Cheap, etc).
* Once configured, return to Docupilot and click **Verify**.

  > *It could take up to 48 hours for the DNS records to be propagated based on your DNS caching settings.*

#### Locking a domain

After verification, you can **lock** the domain to prevent unauthorized account creation using your company’s email domain.

When a domain is locked:

* Only **Organization Admins** can invite users with emails from the locked domain.
* New sign-ups using that domain are blocked.
* If someone tries to create a new Organization using the same domain, it will **not be allowed**.
