Public vs private status pages

Private status page authentication options

Only authenticated users can view ilert's private status pages. To adjust access, navigate to Status Pages -> Authentication, and select one or several authentication methods.

• Accessible to all users of your account: All users with any roles will have access to the chosen status page. Please note that the page will be visible even if it belongs to a private team.

• IP Whitelist: Specify IP addresses, and users without an ilert account will be able to see the status page.

• Passwordless Email Login: Enter email addresses and/or domains that should have access to your status page.
