# Enable DNSSEC

`GET /DNSSEC/enable_dnssec`

This function enables DNSSEC on the domain.

**Note:**

 * After you enable DNSSEC on the domain, you **must** add the DNS records to your registrar.
 * You **cannot** modify the DNSSEC security key. To make any changes, you **must** disable (and delete) and re-create the DNSSEC security key.

**Important:**

  When you disable the [DNS role](https://go.cpanel.net/serverroles), the system **disables** this function.
