To become a global admin for your company, use the following steps to verify domain ownership.
Sign in to the Partner Center dashboard and select the Membership tile, then select Become a global admin.
Select Become a global admin.
On the Verify domain ownership page, copy the TXT values from the table. Notice that your domain is already selected for you.
Sign in to your domain.
Follow the steps your domain provides to paste the TXT values into the DNS form. This allows us to verify that you own the domain you are trying to work from.
