# Domain Claim Domain ownership verification is a critical security measure. Without a reliable way to prove ownership, unauthorized parties could interfere with integration requests and potentially compromise the application. ## How Does It Work? The domain claim process involves verifying a domain by generating a unique token, asking the domain owner to publish it in a DNS TXT record for that (sub)domain, and then doing a DNS lookup to confirm the token is actually present. This process confirms whether a user really owns the domain. ## Step-by-Step 1. Select a **Workspace** and go to **Settings** in the sidebar. 2. Select the **SAML & SCIM**. There will be a domain claim section at the top of the page. At the moment, domain claim is tightly connected to SAML/SCIM. 3. At the top of the page, click the **"Add domain"** button. Fill it with the domain you want Datasaur to claim. 4. In your DNS provider, create a **TXT record** using the values provided by Datasaur (fully qualified domain name, host, and its value). 5. Return to the app and click **"Verify"** button so that Datasaur will attempt to confirm ownership. Verification may take up to 24 hours due to DNS propagation delays. ## **Status** This refers to the status column after a domain is added. * **Unclaimed**: The domain has been added but hasn't been claimed yet. Click "Verify" to start the process. * **In Progress**: The domain is currently being verified (up to 24 hours). * **Claimed**: The domain is successfully claimed by the user, confirming ownership. * **Failed**: Data Studio cannot get the desired result when requesting the domain after 24 hours. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.datasaur.ai/integrations/domain-claim.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
