User Types Overview

User Types

AlertOps has three User Types: Standard User, Billing Admin, and Stakeholder. User types cannot be changed once a user is created.  Standard user roles can be changed, but not user types, hence Standard, Billing Admin, and Stakeholder cannot be changed

Standard User

A Standard User Type is used for anyone utilizing the platform to receive notifications, respond to alerts, or configure the platform. This user type can be one of various out-of-the box roles provided with AlertOps. Alternatively, they can also be assigned custom roles configured within the platform. A standard user can be assigned a User Role, which provides them with specific entitlements and access.

Billing Admin

The Billing Admin Type is useful for allowing administration of AlertOps without consuming a User license.  Such users cannot create or respond to alerts, and only have access to the Account Settings in the UI.

Stakeholder

The Stakeholder Type is considered a "non-interactive user", meaning that they can receive notifications from alerts, however, they have no ability to respond or modify the alert.
