Users Roles

Last modified on March 27, 2024

Each user in AlertSite is assigned a role that controls what the user can and cannot do within a company’s AlertSite account.

There are five user roles in AlertSite:

  • Admin – The account owner. Has full access to all areas of AlertSite.

  • Co-Admin – Has full access to all areas of AlertSite. Can add and modify all users except for Admin.

  • Power-User – Can manage monitors, reports, alerts, and SLAs. Cannot manage account settings and users.

  • Read-Only – Can view all AlertSite dashboards, but cannot create or edit monitors. Can create and schedule reports, but not delete them.

  • Report-Only – In AlertSite UXM, this role grants the same permissions as the Read-Only role. In AlertSite 1.0 (classic interface), it limits user access only to Reports (except for scheduled reports), Charts, Account (Change Password and Mailing Lists) and Support.

Role permissions

Note: “UXM” means the user has access to this feature in AlertSite UXM (new interface) but not AlertSite 1.0 (classic interface).
