DNS Servers ((CHECK LINKS WHEN DNS DONE))Servers
May be used to import: DNS Zones
ProVision provides automated tools for importing DNS zones from the following server types: BIND, PowerDNS, InfoBlox, NS One, Dyn DNS, and DNSMadeEasy servers, as well as IPPlan MySQL Databases.
Before importing DNS zones, it is recommended that a DNS Group be created to hold the zones being imported, and that the DNS server be added into ProVision so that zone updates may be pushed.
...
If using the DNS functionality in ProVision, you will need to add your servers prior to importing zones.
Add DNS Severs ((CHECK LINKS WHEN DNS DONE))
Adding DNS Servers requires administrative access.
Servers are added under the DNS Tab of ProVision, under "DNS Servers". Click on "Add Server" and fill out the server information.

3) Add Users and Groups
In ProVision, the permissions structure is handled by assigning users to groups, then setting specific resource-level C/R/U/D permissions for that group. It is designed to give you as much flexibility as you need to accommodate most use cases. When mapping out the permissions structure for your organization, keep in mind who you want to access to application:
