How to Create a Folder

Overview

The DNS Made Easy folder feature lets you segment the domains in your account and assign permissions accordingly. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the folder creation process.

NOTE: The user menu option is only visible AFTER additional users have been purchased. For Corporate Users, it’s enabled by default. 

Common Use Cases For Creating Folders

Adding folders lets you set permissions by domain, rather than allowing users access to all domains within your account. This is especially helpful for MSPs and large organizations will several domains that are managed by different teams.

• At least one domain has already been added to your DNS Made Easy account
• You have added at least one sub-user to your account (optional, for groups)
