Roles & Permissions
Every user in your organisation is assigned a role that determines what they can access and manage. Pulsewise has four roles, ranging from full control to read-only access.
Roles overview
| Role | Description |

| Owner | Full control over the organisation, including billing and team management |
| Admin | Full control except billing — can manage sites, members, and status pages |
| Member | Can create and view sites, and invite other members |
| Guest | Read-only access to sites |

Changing a user's role
Owners and admins can change a team member's role from the Team Members page. Click the edit icon next to any member to update their role.
Can a member be promoted to owner?
There can only be one owner per organisation. To transfer ownership, contact support.
What happens when a member is removed?
Removed members immediately lose access to all sites and data in the organisation. Sites and monitoring data they created are not affected.
