Domain Claim

Claim your domain to prevent unauthorized access

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.

  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.
