If you are using Cloudflare for your [authoritative DNS](/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/), you do not need to create an SOA record. Cloudflare creates this record automatically when you start using Cloudflare's authoritative nameservers.

If you have an Enterprise account, you also have the option to change the SOA record values that Cloudflare will use.
You can do that for existing zones by going to **DNS** > **Records** > **DNS record options**, or you can configure your own [DNS zone defaults](/dns/additional-options/dns-zone-defaults/) and define the SOA record values that Cloudflare will use for all new zones added to your account.
With Enterprise accounts, you also have the option to change the SOA record values that Cloudflare will use:

- As a DNS zone default: Define the SOA record values that Cloudflare will use for all new zones added to your account. Refer to [Configure DNS zone defaults](/dns/additional-options/dns-zone-defaults/) for step-by-step guidance.
- For existing zones: Override the defaults or Cloudflare-generated values by going to **DNS** > **Records** > **DNS record options**.

If you are an Enterprise customer and these options are not displayed on your Cloudflare dashboard, reach out to your account team.
