Account Settings

Every PagerDuty account has one user that is designated as the Account Owner. This user has special access to perform any action in the account. The Account Owner is the only user with access to Account Settings, which includes account details, the ability to transfer account ownership and configure email domain restrictions.

Account Details

Company Name

To set the company name:

1. In the web app, navigate to User Icon Account Settings.
2. In the field Company Name, enter the name of your organization.

2. Select a time zone from the dropdown.
3. Click Save Changes.

User Role After Transferring Account Ownership

When you transfer account ownership to a different user, your user account will have its role changed to be an Admin user.

Account Owner Unavailable

If the current account owner has left your organization and their PagerDuty login information is not available, we suggest the following:

1. Contact your internal IT department to request access to the former Account Owner's email inbox.
2. In your web browser, navigate your organization's PagerDuty login page (e.g., https://your-subdomain.pagerduty.com/sign_in), enter the former Account Owner's email address, and click Forgot your password? to send a password reset email.
3. Follow the instructions in the password reset email to log in to your PagerDuty account as the Account Owner, and follow the steps above to transfer account ownership to an appropriate user.

Email Domain Restriction

You may wish to use an allow list to restrict the domains that users can enter. This setting can apply to both login and contact email addresses. Additionally, the restriction applies to future updates; in other words, if you are enabling the feature for the first time, and users have entered email domains that are not on the allow list, their email addresses will continue to work.

1. In the web app, navigate to User Icon Account Settings.
2. Under the section Email Domain Restriction, check the boxes to restrict login email addresses and/or contact email addresses (an email address where a user receives notifications).
3. Enter a comma-separated list of domains to allow.
4. Click Update Email Domain Settings.

Users who enter email domains not specified in the Email Domain Allow List will now see the following dialog boxes when entering their login email and/or contact information email.

Subdomains in Email Addresses

If your account uses subdomains in email addresses, you can check Allow Subdomains as a convenience feature. With this feature enabled, the allow list will permit all subdomains under any of the domains listed above. For example, entering domain.com will also allow subdomain.domain.com, as well as subdomain2.subdomain1.domain.com.
