Navigate to **Settings** () > **Users and security** in the left navigation bar of the knowledge base portal. 2. In the left navigation pane, navigate to **Readers & groups** > **Readers**. 3. Hover over the desired domain name on the **Reader self-registration** page. 4. Click the **Edit** () icon. The edit panel opens. 5. Update any of the following as needed: - **Domain name** — change the domain (everything after the **@** symbol). - **Type** — switch between **Block** and **Allow**. - **Map reader group** — add, change, or remove the reader group mapped to this domain (optional, available for **Allow** domains only).

NOTE
If no reader groups are selected, the reader group mapped in the content permission will be applied by default.

6. Click **Save** to apply the changes. --- ## How to delete a domain restriction ### Delete a single domain restriction 1. Navigate to **Settings** () > **Users and security** in the left navigation bar of the knowledge base portal. 2. In the left navigation pane, navigate to **Readers & groups** > **Readers**. 3.

Review the reader group mapping before switching types.
