Roles & Permissions

Admin, Member, and Viewer roles explained.

Three roles

Pulse uses a simple three-role model:

Admin

  • Full access to all modules and settings
  • Can invite and remove team members
  • Can change roles and module access
  • Can manage billing and subscriptions
  • Can configure alert rules and agent settings

The account creator is automatically an Admin. You should have at least 2 Admins for redundancy.

Member

  • Full access to assigned modules (dashboards, drill-downs, AI chat)
  • Can acknowledge and resolve alerts
  • Can create compliance attestations
  • Cannot invite or remove team members
  • Cannot manage billing

Viewer

  • Read-only access to assigned modules
  • Cannot acknowledge alerts or create attestations
  • Cannot change any settings
  • Useful for stakeholders who need visibility without action capabilities

Changing roles

Admins can change any team member's role from the Team page. Click the member's row, select a new role, and save. The change takes effect immediately — the user's permissions update on their next page load.
