# Manage domains

Settings → Domains is the single list of every domain name registered on the account, whether it is serving traffic or still waiting on a DNS record.

## Reading the list

![The Domain names list: each row carries the domain, its status, whether SSL is active, the organisations and users it is shared with, and four action buttons](https://www.unitag.io/documentation/images/domains/en/domains-list.webp)

Each row is one domain, with four columns before the actions:

- **Domain name**: the subdomain as you registered it.
- **Status**: Activated once the DNS record has been verified, Pending verification until then.
- **SSL activated**: Secured once the TLS certificate has been issued, so the domain serves over HTTPS. It follows the status rather than leading it — a domain that is not yet verified has no certificate.
- **Shared with**: who else may use the domain, or Not shared. Blue chips are organisations; purple chips are individual users.

## The row actions

Four buttons sit at the end of every row:

- **See configuration**, the eye: opens the domain's configuration page — the CNAME record your zone should contain, its verification status, and the DNS provider selector.
- **Refresh verification**: re-runs the DNS check without waiting for the next automatic one. This is the button to use after adding the record, or after changing it.
- **Sharing options**: opens the sharing dialog described below.
- **Delete**: removes the domain. Only the account owner can delete an active domain, and the button is disabled for everyone else.

> Deleting a domain breaks the codes that use it
>
> Any QR code whose short URL is built on a domain stops resolving when that domain is removed. On printed material there is no way to undo that. Check what resolves through a domain before deleting it.

## Checking the configuration

The configuration page is the same one the wizard ends on, and it stays available for the life of the domain. It is where to look when a domain that used to work stops resolving: it shows the record Unitag expects and whether that record currently resolves.

![The domain configuration page: the CNAME record to add, with its host, target and Verified status, above the manual configuration instructions](https://www.unitag.io/documentation/images/domains/en/domains-configuration.webp)

A domain that has slipped back to Pending verification has almost always lost its DNS record — a zone migration, a provider change, a cleanup. Re-add the record shown here and press Verify.

## Sharing a domain

A domain registered on the account belongs to the account, not to the person who registered it. Sharing decides who else may build QR codes on it — and, in a multi-organisation account, that decision is what keeps one team's codes from resolving under another team's brand.

![The Domain sharing dialog: the three sharing scopes, with Organisation level selected and three organisations chosen](https://www.unitag.io/documentation/images/domains/en/domains-sharing.webp)

The sharing dialog offers three scopes:

- **All organisations, suborganisations and collaborators**: everyone on the account may use the domain. The right choice for an account with a single brand.
- **Organisation level**: only the organisations you pick. Their members inherit the access. This is how an agency or a group keeps each brand's domain to the organisation that owns the brand.
- **Collaborator level**: only the individual users you pick, regardless of the organisation they belong to.

Picking a scope reveals the matching selector — organisations for the second, users for the third — and the chips you add there are what appears afterwards in the Shared with column: blue for organisations, purple for users. Update domain saves the change.

Sharing by organisation requires that the organisation exists first. Sub-organisations and users are covered in the Organisations section of this documentation.
