Roles & permissions

Updated April 15, 2026

Control who can do what across your Hyperping account and projects. Five roles give you fine-grained control, with every resource scoped inside a project, and team members only seeing the projects they belong to.

📘Useful when
  • You're onboarding new team members and need to explain what they can and can't do.
  • You need to decide how to structure projects for different teams or clients.
  • You're preparing for a security or compliance review.

Project isolation

Projects act as boundaries. A teammate invited to Project A cannot see monitors, status pages, or integrations in Project B. Only the Owner sees every project.

Project A
acme.com
Production monitors, public status page, on-call rotation.
J Jane Owner
M Marcus Admin
P Priya Member
Project B
staging.acme.com
Priya cannot see this project. Jane, as Owner, can.
J Jane Owner
S Sasha Member
R Ren Admin

Common ways to split work across projects:

  • Clients. Each client gets their own project.
  • Internal teams. Engineering, infrastructure, support.
  • Environments. Production vs staging.

If you use SAML SSO, you can also restrict SSO users to specific projects through the SSO access scope setting. See login methods for the full flow.

Account security

Auth
Two-factor authentication

Add a second verification step to login. Once enabled, you need your password plus a code from your authenticator app.

Enable it in your account settings. Available to all users on every plan.

Traceability
Audit logs

Every change is recorded: who did what, when, and in which project.

Useful for tracking config changes, reviewing teammate activity after an incident, and providing evidence for compliance audits.

Storage
Data protection

Encrypted at rest with LUKS, in transit with SSL/HTTPS.

All data stored in the EU (DigitalOcean Frankfurt). GDPR-compliant with self-serve data deletion.

Troubleshooting

A teammate says they can't see a project.
Team members only see projects they were invited to. Check the Teammates page while inside the correct project to verify they were invited there.
A teammate needs to manage billing.
Assign them the Billing role, or let the Owner handle it directly. Change roles on the Teammates page.
An SSO user can't log in.
Check the provisioning policy in your SSO settings. If it's set to "Invite-only," the user needs to be invited before SSO login will work. See login methods for details.
