Teams and User Roles

Cronitor's team management lets you invite colleagues, assign appropriate permissions, and configure enterprise authentication. Control who can view, edit, or manage your monitoring infrastructure with flexible user roles.

User Roles

Cronitor uses three user roles to control access to your monitoring resources. Each role builds on the permissions of the previous one:

Role	Description	Best For
Read-only	View-only access to monitors, dashboards, incidents, and telemetry data. Cannot create, edit, or manage any resources.	Stakeholders, executives, and external consultants
User	Create and manage monitors, status pages, incidents, alerts, integrations, and API keys. Cannot access team settings or billing.	Engineers, DevOps teams, and day-to-day operators
Administrator	Full access including team member management, role assignment, billing, and SAML SSO configuration.	Team leads, managers, and IT administrators

Managing Your Team

Accessing Team Settings

Navigate to Team Settings from your account menu. You'll need Administrator permissions to access this page.

Adding Team Members

Invite New Team Members

Click "Invite User" in your Team Settings
Enter their email address
Select their role (Read-only, User, or Administrator)
Click "Send Invitation"

The new team member will receive an email invitation to join your Cronitor organization. They can accept the invitation even if they don't have a Cronitor account yet.

Changing User Roles

Managing User Roles

You can update any team member's role at any time:

Find the user in your Team Settings
Click the role dropdown next to their name
Select their new role
Changes take effect immediately

Important: Users will immediately gain or lose access based on their new role. API keys they've created will also inherit the new permissions.

Removing Team Members

To remove someone from your team:

Find the user in your Team Settings
Click the "Remove" button next to their name
Confirm the removal

Removed users will lose access to your organization immediately.

Authentication Options

Cronitor supports multiple authentication methods to fit your organization's security requirements:

Method	Description
Email & Password	Standard login for accessing the web dashboard and creating accounts
SAML SSO	Enterprise single sign-on for web dashboard access with automatic user provisioning
API Keys	Programmatic access for API calls, integrations, and automated systems
