Choosing the Right Role
Recommendations for different use cases and team structures
For agency team members
Use Admin for senior team members who need to manage clients and monitors. Use Editor for team members who work on monitors but shouldn't manage the team.
For clients
Use Monitor-Only with specific monitors selected. This lets clients see only their own data without accessing your other clients' information.
For content managers
Use Monitor-Only with access to just content monitors. They can verify content checks are working without seeing technical uptime data.
For stakeholders
Use Viewer for executives or stakeholders who need visibility into monitoring but won't make changes. Use Notify-Only if they just need to receive alerts.
