🔒 Severity based incident permissions

Your incident’s severity determines which playbooks, workflows, and automations your team uses to manage and resolve it. High-risk information might be shared to get your system back online, and with many teammates observing and collaborating, it becomes a challenge to enforce protocol in a safe and secure manner.

Now, with Rootly’s severity-based roles and permissions, you can lock down permissions and capabilities to specific users based on the incident's severity. For example:

• Only Incident Commanders can escalate an incident to SEV1.
• Only executives can send customer communications for SEV0 incidents.
• Only engineering directors can cancecl SEV0 incidents.

Your incident permissions can be defined across a range of dimensions on the incident, including:

• A user's role in Rootly vs. their assigned role in an incident.
• Upgrading an incident's status or severity.
• Setting an incident's types and field values.
• Publishing to a status page, assigning roles, updating the timeline, and more!
