## Add a domain

1. In ION, go to **Settings > Organization > Authentication**.
2. In the **Domain Management** card, enter your domain in the **Add Domain** field and click **Add Domain**.

The domain appears in your **Claimed Domains** list with a **Pending** status.

## Verify the domain

After you add a domain, ION displays the name and value of a DNS TXT record to publish.

1. Give the TXT record name and value to whoever manages your DNS, and have them add it to the domain’s DNS settings.
2. Once the record is live, click **Check Verification** next to the domain.

ION checks for the record and updates the domain’s status. DNS changes can take a few minutes to propagate. If verification is still **Pending**, wait and try again.

## Domain statuses

| Status   | Meaning                                                                                         |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Verified** | Ownership confirmed. ION routes users on this domain to your organization.                    |
| **Pending**  | Waiting on the DNS record, or DNS hasn’t propagated yet.                                    |
| **Failed**   | ION couldn’t find the expected TXT record. Double-check the record and click **Check Verification** again. |

## Remove a domain

1. In the **Domain Management** card, click the remove icon next to the domain.
2. In the **Remove domain** dialog, click **Remove domain** to confirm.

Removing a domain means users with email addresses on that domain are no longer automatically associated with your organization at login. Only remove a domain you no longer use.
