Control who can publish to your status page

Last updated: April 22, 2025

If you wish to restrict who can publish incidents and updates to your status page, you can achieve this with a custom role.

This lets you manage who can:

  • publish new incidents

  • publish updates to existing incidents

  • schedule maintenance windows

  • publish updates to maintenance windows

  • modify the impact timeline of incidents and maintenance windows

All of this is managed via the 'Publish to status pages' permission:

By default, the 'responder' role allows anyone in your Slack workspace to update your status page. Learn how to configure this in our article on customising permissions.
