Domain access control refers to the policies and mechanisms that determine which users or roles within an organization can view, modify, or transfer domains managed through a [[registrar|registrar]] account. Registrar platforms typically implement role-based access control (RBAC) with tiers such as Owner, Admin, and Viewer, each with distinct permissions for operations like changing [[nameserver|nameservers]], disabling [[domain-lock|domain lock]], or initiating [[domain-transfer|transfers]]. Combining fine-grained access control with [[two-factor-registrar|two-factor authentication]] and audit logging forms a defense-in-depth strategy against both insider misuse and external account compromise.
Example
Your marketing intern can log into the registrar to view domain expiration dates but cannot modify DNS records or initiate transfers, because their account role is set to 'Viewer' rather than 'Admin'.
