# Authorised Domains

## Authorised Domains Guide

In this article, we explain the process of adding **Authorised Domains** as an **admin** on the admin portal. This will allow you to issue training and phishing campaigns for your users, using email addresses that derive from such domains.

**Prerequisites:**

Before adding a domain, ensure that the requirements below are met:

* You own the domain.
* You can whitelist emails sent to the domain.
* You can add a TXT record for the authorised domain to the DNS server.

 

**1.** Click on the **drop-down** list to view more than 10 entries in a single page:

**2.** Click on the following button to create a **new** authorised domain:

You should expect the following output:

<div align="left"><img src="https://787872742-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdbDWFUV8KfahpvaDhzuK%2Fuploads%2FIlA8fGGogvgngrKB2GSe%2FAuthorised_Domains_Guide_3.png?alt=media&#x26;token=5cfc50e5-2393-470b-af05-5189f0e4d7fc" alt=""></div>

**3.** Fill the details required and select **Close** or **Save changes:**

<div align="left"><img src="https://787872742-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdbDWFUV8KfahpvaDhzuK%2Fuploads%2FICM0FfgkRLIwjx6uz5lI%2FAuthorised_Domains_Guide_4.png?alt=media&#x26;token=bf5aa8fe-8c80-4743-b6b0-11abfad1e26c" alt=""></div>

**4.** For this example, we will be using a domain called **example.com.**

<div align="left"><img src="https://787872742-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdbDWFUV8KfahpvaDhzuK%2Fuploads%2F4ZqGY7Hk5assQTGdahmN%2FAuthorised_Domains_Guide_5.png?alt=media&#x26;token=8664bdcd-d493-4f59-af7a-3e8c1b14e817" alt=""></div>

You should receive a similar prompt with a unique txt record for verification:

![](https://787872742-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdbDWFUV8KfahpvaDhzuK%2Fuploads%2F2Ml0bbR0djRmtd6K6r16%2FAuthorised_Domains_Guide_6.png?alt=media\&token=6563698c-5ae6-4443-9c2d-aa29ec207e9f)

All the information is provided accordingly, but for security purposes, they are hidden in these images.

&#x20;

**5.** As mentioned in the image above, create a **txt record** for your corresponding domain in your **DNS provider.**

&#x20;

**6.** To do that, open a new window and access your **DNS.** From there, select the **Add Record** and set the **Record Type** to **TXT Record:**

![](https://787872742-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdbDWFUV8KfahpvaDhzuK%2Fuploads%2FMYZxx2nCXWOqk8OGXWXC%2FAuthorised_Domains_Guide_7.png?alt=media\&token=676ced8e-2c8c-4bbe-a064-80e0aa2b20da)

**7.** Then, paste **your unique txt** record in the text box:

![](https://787872742-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdbDWFUV8KfahpvaDhzuK%2Fuploads%2Fbw37hfERann11EOzxVmJ%2FAuthorised_Domains_Guide_8.png?alt=media\&token=a2ddb692-29ff-4e27-ba8d-08238f7e3377)

**8.** Click **Add Record** to save it or **Cancel** to step back:

![](https://787872742-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdbDWFUV8KfahpvaDhzuK%2Fuploads%2FkOFzErjn5HL41mF3wOKo%2FAuthorised_Domains_Guide_9.png?alt=media\&token=c5ae54e4-a13a-4f22-94e5-83a985b9279c)

**9.** If you have added the record, return to your **Verify domain** prompt in the platform:

![](https://787872742-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdbDWFUV8KfahpvaDhzuK%2Fuploads%2FuUehq3hnjvv3w5k9stEZ%2FAuthorised_Domains_Guide_10.png?alt=media\&token=fc01245e-1cf1-40fc-9c3b-96ffd67bcfdc)

**10.** If you choose to **Close,** the process will finalise without verifying the domain and you will have to repeat the process of verification again:

![](https://787872742-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdbDWFUV8KfahpvaDhzuK%2Fuploads%2FSm3XfWNsdLOcmnEnRKpO%2FAuthorised_Domains_Guide_11.png?alt=media\&token=3af6ac7a-c83c-4cde-9208-c1f2f0dbfb0c)

**11.** From there, you can also edit the soon-to-be authorised domain by clicking on the **pencil** symbol:

<div align="left"><img src="https://787872742-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdbDWFUV8KfahpvaDhzuK%2Fuploads%2FsHSD8OMKy3nCbs113xv6%2FAuthorised_Domains_Guide_13.png?alt=media&#x26;token=13736817-9ab3-489d-82e6-9a8aec3bef9b" alt=""></div>

**12.** Alternatively, if you select **Verify Domain,** a confirmation window will appear. Click **OK** to proceed.

**13.** As we can see, the domain has been authorised as requested!

![](https://787872742-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdbDWFUV8KfahpvaDhzuK%2Fuploads%2FUIurpCWQtewrccKg1XVH%2FAuthorised_Domains_Guide_15.png?alt=media\&token=cb54f263-f22b-4c70-98e4-d6cbdb0865cf)

**14.** You can always delete a domain. To do so, click on the **trash can** button:

![](https://787872742-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FdbDWFUV8KfahpvaDhzuK%2Fuploads%2FO1HCcllk8bd7g6TUXW94%2FAuthorised_Domains_Guide_16.png?alt=media\&token=1f0f199b-d3f2-4e18-a45e-c31608240dd0)

**15.** Select **Delete** to confirm your action or **Cancel** to maintain the domain.

**16.** If you’ve chosen to delete the domain, a confirmation prompt should pop up. Select **OK** to finalise!
