Domain management lets you add and verify domains, and enable
auto-provisioning for users. Auto-provisioning adds users to your
organization when they sign in with an email address that matches a verified
domain.

This simplifies user management, ensures consistent security settings, and
reduces the risk of unmanaged users accessing Docker without visibility
or control.

## Add a domain

1. Sign in to the [Admin Console](https://admin.docker.com/).
2. Select your organization or company from the **Choose profile** page.
If your organization is part of a company, select the company
and configure the domain for the organization at the company level.
3. Under **Security and access**, select **Domain management**.
4. Select **Add a domain**.
5. Enter your domain and select **Add domain**.
6. In the pop-up modal, copy the **TXT Record Value** to verify your domain.

## Verify a domain

Verifying your domain confirms that you own it. To verify, add a TXT record to
your Domain Name System (DNS) host using the value provided by Docker. This
value proves ownership and instructs your DNS to publish the record.

It can take up to 72 hours for the DNS change to propagate. Docker automatically
checks for the record and confirms ownership once the change is recognized.

Follow your DNS provider’s documentation to add the **TXT Record Value**. If
your provider isn't listed, use the steps for other providers.

> [!TIP]
>
> The record name field determines where the TXT record is added in your domain
(root or subdomain). In general, refer to the following tips for
adding a record name:
>
> - Use `@` or leave the record name empty for root domains like `example.com`,
depending on your provider.
> - Don't enter values like `docker`, `docker-verification`, `www`, or your
domain name. These values may direct to the wrong place.
>
> Check your DNS provider's documentation to verify record name requirements.
