Setting User Permissions
Some StatusGator plans allow multiple users in a single organization to access and manage your StatusGator board. Use this feature to delegate management of your vendor monitoring to certain teams. Each department might have one or two users who have StatusGator accounts in order to choose services to monitor, configure notification preferences, and set up filters.
When inviting a user to your StatusGator organization, you can choose one of two permission levels – Admin and Editor.
An Editor will only be able to access the StatusGator boards to which you assign them. For each board they are assigned to, they will have total control to add services, remove services, and set up integrations and notification preferences.
These regular users will not be able to change StatusGator plans or payment information, invite other users, or create new boards.
If you grant someone Admin access, they will have all the same permissions as a regular user but they will also be able to invite other users, create new boards, remove boards, and change StatusGator plans and billing. To enable Admin access, simply change the role from Editor to Admin by utilizing the role menu subitem on the Team Management page:
StatusGator Roles and Permissions
The table below lists the various features of StatusGator and defines which role has access to which features:
Editor | Admin | |
| Monitor Cloud Services | Yes, on assigned boards | Yes |
| Monitor Websites | Yes, on assigned boards | Yes |
| Configure Component Filters | Yes, on assigned boards | Yes |

| Invite Users | No | Yes |

In short, grant admin access only to those users you want to manage your StatusGator account as a whole.
For general, read-only access to the status of all your services, create a status page, and distribute its URL to your team, company, or end-users.
