# How do I manage target domains?
## The Manage Target Domains page provides a list of all domains that you have either authorized to send simulated phishing emails to or have previously tested targets belonging to that domain.
#### Overview
To get to the Manage Target Domains page, go to **Tests / Campaigns** \> **Manage Target Domains**.
This will open the **Manage Target Domains** page. If a domain has been authorized (i.e. you don't need to send a Campaign Authorization email to someone on that domain), then it will say "Authorized" under the status column.
#### How to Pre-Authorize Domains
Pre-authorized domains allow you to bypass sending an authorization email for every domain you are testing. To add a new domain, simply click the **Add Domain** button. A pop-up window will appear where you can enter the domain to be added.
- *NOTE: After one domain is added on a Single account, the "Add" button will no longer be available. To add more domains, you must contact your Account Manager to get them approved.*
Once added, you will be transferred to the **Verify Domain** page where you can select the method you wish to use in order to verify the domain. There are four methods to choose from:
- Email (recommended)
- HTML tag
- HTML file
- Manual authorization form
Simply enter the authorizer’s email address and click **Send Verification Email**.
The recipient will receive an email similar to the one on the left. After clicking **Authorize Now**, they will be taken to a page similar to the one on the right where they approve the authorization.
The remaining three methods are listed below with instructions on how to implement them:
