Mobile App Permissions

As of app version 5.72, new downloads of the mobile app will ask for the permission to access your contacts. For existing app users, you can access this under the Settings tab in the mobile app.

The way we use the Manage Contacts permission is by importing the PagerDuty vCard. We will automatically keep this up to date when we add or remove numbers from the vCard.

• We will not send messages, calls, or notifications to any contact within your contacts list.
• We will not use this permission for marketing, data gathering, or for research purposes.

If you choose to deny this permission, the app will still function as intended. However, you may miss calls if the PagerDuty phone number is blocked or marked as spam by your provider. For iOS users, installing the contact card allows you to enable an override for Do Not Disturb, and will ensure silencing unknown numbers doesn't affect calls from PagerDuty. You can always manually download the vCard from our Knowledge Base, however you will need to periodically check to see if it has been updated, and if so, you’ll need to download it again.

Advanced Mobile Security

Add an additional layer of mobile app security by setting up Advanced Mobile Security on your PagerDuty account.

Enabling this feature will require users to set a passcode (“PIN”) after logging in to the mobile app. This passcode is stored locally on the user’s device and will need to be entered to access the app every time users close it or leave it in the background. On iOS, users can choose to use phone biometric features like Face-ID. Administrators can also set a timeout which will additionally require the passcode when the timeout has elapsed even if the user has not minimized or closed the app.

🚧

Requirements

The App Lock feature is available to customers on the following pricing plans: Business, Digital Operations (legacy) and Enterprise for Incident Management.

Note: Advanced Mobile Security is configured within the web app as opposed to the mobile app.

To set up App Lock:

1. In the PagerDuty web app, navigate to User Icon Account Settings Mobile Security Settings.
2. Select On from the drop-down to enable the Mobile App Lock Setting.
3. Choose an App Lock Timeout value which will control how long it will take for the app to lock and require to enter a passcode.
4. Click Save Changes.

Once the setting is enabled, users will be prompted to enter a new passcode when they log into their PagerDuty mobile app.

📘

Reset Passcode

If you have forgotten your passcode or would like to change it, you can click Forgot passcode?, which will log you out of the entire app to set up a new one.

FAQ

When logging in, do I need to select my service region?

You do not need to specify if you are logging into an EU or US region based account. The new login system works globally, and will log you in to the appropriate account depending on the credentials you enter. If you use the same email/password combo for accounts in both EU and US regions, you will be presented with a list of accounts, which will indicate which region each account is based in.

I use Single Sign-On to log in. Why don’t I see the option to enter my email/password, too?

Your PagerDuty administrator has configured the account to only allow login via single sign-on. Please contact your PagerDuty administration if you wish to use email and password to sign in to PagerDuty.

I have multiple accounts with the same email. Why don't I see a list of accounts to log into?

Users will see a list of accounts that use the exact same email/password combination. If you have used different passwords, but the same email address, for different accounts, the app will not present a list of accounts.

Can I use a password manager to log in?

Yes, we have tested several password managers to make sure they are capable of handling your login credentials, even if you have multiple PagerDuty accounts. If you use a unique password for each PagerDuty account, the app will be able to successfully log you in to the appropriate account.

If I have multiple PagerDuty accounts, should I use the same password for each?

No, we do not recommend using the same password across multiple accounts for security reasons, though we understand it may be required in certain configurations.
