This is a Cloudflare security policy that prevents a single CNAME DNS record from being shared or pointed across different user accounts on its platform. It is relevant for website administrators, developers, and IT professionals using Cloudflare's DNS and proxy services to manage their domains and subdomains.

• CNAME Record Security: Enforces a rule where a CNAME record must be owned and managed within a single Cloudflare account. This stops one user from pointing a CNAME to a resource in another user's account.
• Prevents Domain Hijacking: Mitigates security risks by blocking a potential attack vector where an unauthorized party could redirect traffic by manipulating cross-account CNAME configurations.
• Avoids Configuration Conflicts: Reduces errors and service interruptions that can occur when multiple accounts attempt to control the same DNS record, ensuring clearer ownership and management.
• Clear Error Messaging: When this policy is violated, users encounter a specific Error 1014 page that explains the CNAME cross-user ban, aiding in troubleshooting.
• Supports Custom Domains: For services like R2, the policy reinforces that custom domains must be configured correctly within the owning account, rather than via manual CNAME records pointing to another account's resource.
