The four roles
Owner
Full control. The only role that manages the subscription and creates child organizations.
Admin
Configures the operational environment: teams, services, schedules, alert sources, integrations and members.
Member
Takes part in on-call and acts on incidents. Does not change organization configuration.
Viewer
Read-only. Ideal for management, product and support to follow along with no risk of changing anything.
Permission matrix
Special rule: assigning an incident to someone else
Assigning an incident to a third party carries an extra restriction:- Owner and admin can assign to any active member of the organization.
- Member can only assign to someone else if both — the assigner and the assignee — are members of the incident’s team.
- If the incident has no team, a member can only take it for themselves. Owners and admins remain unrestricted.
