Setting Default Permissions

Overview

This tutorial guides you through the process of setting default permissions for all new users in the Constellix DNS portal. There are several customization options available, including IP Filter, GeoProximity, Pool, and Domain-specific permissions. You have the flexibility of choosing the following privileges as default: none, read-only, read/commit, read/write, or read/write/commit. 

Common Use Case for Setting Default Permissions

Setting default permissions lets account administrators quickly and easily add users with certain privileges set automatically.

Note: These settings will be applied to all new users added to the management console. For customization options for each individual user, visit our Permissions tutorials. 

Prerequisites

• You have a domain already added to your Constellix account
• At least one user has been added to your account

Note: For help with creating users, visit our Adding Sub-users tutorial.
