**Prerequisite:** Only contract administrators, owners, and users with **Access and manage DNS** privilege can create and manage primary zones and records. You can set user privileges in the [<mark style="color:blue;">DCD</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/sections-test/guides/network-services/cloud-dns/dcd-how-tos/set-user-privileges) or the [<mark style="color:blue;">API</mark>](https://docs.ionos.com/sections-test/guides/network-services/cloud-dns/api-how-tos/set-user-privileges-api).
