In ProVision, standard user permissions are set by resource and functional area (IPAM, DNSResource, Peering, etc). Global Admin permissions give access to additional functions such as configuration settings, DNS management, Importingimporting, and Scheduler Taskstasks. Determine which users will require administrative access, and which will have access to only specific resources or functional areas. You will need to get more specific later, but having some high level groups to work with is a great start.

PowerDNS Server or DynECT ServerDNS Servers
May be used to import: DNS Zones
ProVision provides automated tools for importing DNS zones from a PowerDNS or DynECT server. However, prior to using those tools for the first time, the server must be added to ProVision. Review the DNS Administration documentation, and add your PowerDNS or DynECT server. the following server types: BIND, PowerDNS, InfoBlox, NS One, Dyn DNS, and DNSMadeEasy servers.
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.
For general DNS taks, see: DNS Administration, DNS Tab, Working with DNS Groups, Working with DNS Servers
For specific DNS zone import instructions for each DNS server type, see: Import DNS ZonesSee: DNS Administration, PowerDNS Zone Import, DynECT Zone Import
Manually Adding Data
ProVision allows manual adding of data at any time. We recommend verifying that the item has not already been added beforehand (to prevent duplicates), and keeping your desired data structure in mind.

If using the DNS functionality in ProVision, you will need to add your servers prior to importing zones.
Add DNS Severs
Adding DNS Servers requires administrative access.
Servers are added under the DNS Admin section Tab of ProVision, under "Manage DNS Servers". Click on "New Add Server" and fill out the server information.
See: Working with DNS AdministrationServers
Information for specific server types is available under the following sections:
Configuring ISC BIND SupportConfiguring DynECT Support
Import DNS Zones
After creating the applicable servers in ProVision, you may import or manually add DNS zones.
ProVision offers three multiple DNS zone import options, available under the Data Import tab in the Admin section. For more information on importing DNS zones, see Importing your Data and Import DNS Zones.
BIND Zone Import
- Imports using the named.conf configuration file tied to the zones you are uploading, a .zip or .tar file of the zones themselves, and an optional .csv file mapping zones to customers and DNS Servers. See: BIND DNS Zone Upload / Import
DynECT Zone Import
- Imports and syncs ALL zones on the system with those in your DnyECT instance. This means any zones in ProVision not present in your DynECT instance will be removed and any changes lost. See: DynECT Zone Import
PowerDNS Zone Import
- Option is available after configuring a PowerDNS server with a MySQL backend. Connects to the selected server and imports all zones.
InfoBlox Zone Import
- Imports DNS zones using a provided Host, Username, and Password. The InfoBlox import pulls all zones on the InfoBlox LOCAL grid and adds them to a designated Group. It is advised to create a DNS Group prior to the import with default parameters and NS records to be inherited by the imported records.
NS One Zone Import
- Imports DNS zones using a NS One API Key. It is advised to create a DNS Group prior to the import with default parameters and NS records to be inherited by the imported records.
Dyn DNS Zone Import
- Imports DNS zones . See: PowerDNS Zone Importusing a Dyn DNS Customer Name, Username, and Password. It is advised to create a DNS Group prior to the import with default parameters and NS records to be inherited by the imported records.
DNSMadeEasy Zone Import
- Imports DNS zones using a DNSMadeEasy API Key and API Secret. It is advised to create a DNS Group prior to the import with default parameters and NS records to be inherited by the imported records.
Manually adding zones may be done at any time from the DNS Tab. See Working with DNS Zones - Common Tasks.
