This feature is available to Enterprise customers.
:::

Claiming a domain prevents your members from accidentally creating their own self-service accounts. After you set up single sign-on (SSO), claim your email domain so Make can recognize your new users. Any new user who signs in with your claimed email domain gets a prompt to use SSO. You can provision your new members by:

- Creating a global provision that assigns all new members to a team you choose.
- [Using an API endpoint to create new users and assign them to a team.](docId\:sox7tIAcDDv9bdKVh5Kj2)

To claim a domain:

1. [Add your domain on Make's SSO setup page](docId\:sox7tIAcDDv9bdKVh5Kj2).
2. [Add your verification code to your domain's DNS](docId\:sox7tIAcDDv9bdKVh5Kj2).
3. [Verify your domain on Make](docId\:sox7tIAcDDv9bdKVh5Kj2).

Once verified, Make recognizes login and registration attempts using your email domain and redirects them to your SSO.

## Add your domain on Make

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click **Organization** in the left sidebar.

The dialog box displays the verification code you need to add as a TXT record to your domain's DNS.&#x20;

Your verification code can be found at **Organization > SSO > Domain verification**.

## Add your verification code to your domain's DNS records

Once you have your verification, add it to your domain's DNS records as TXT. The details vary based on your domain host.

The following steps describe the general process. Contact your domain host for detailed help.

## Provisioning new users

Without a claimed domain, you can use the SSO settings to globally assign users to a team that you specify. This provisioning happens when a new user logs in using your identity provider. Make gets information such as the email address and user name from your identity provider during login.

After you claim a domain, you can use an API endpoint to create new users and assign them to specific teams.

### Create and provision users for Enterprise SSO

You can create a new user in your organization and assign their SSO external ID by calling the `POST /users/user-sso-create` endpoint. The `addUserToDefaultSsoTeams` parameter lets you define whether the new user is automatically added to the default team(s) designated in your SSO configuration. If the new user is not assigned to your default team(s), you can assign the new user to any team in your organization by using the API call `POST/users/{userId}/user-team-roles/{teamId}`.

`POST` /users/user-sso-create

Required permission: `users sso edit`

This endpoint creates a new user in your organization and assigns their SSO external ID in one API call. Use the `addUserToDefaultSsoTeams` parameter to define whether the new user is automatically added to the team(s) designated as default in your SSO configuration. If the new user is not assigned to your default team(s), you need to [assign new users to your teams](https://developers.make.com/api-documentation/api-reference/users/user-organization-roles/post--users--userid--user-organization-roles--organizationid).
