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.
