Private Status Page

Private Status Pages are similar to public status pages, but only authorized users are allowed to access them. Private Status Pages are not available to the general public. Authorization is handled by OpenID SSO, and is independent from PagerDuty SSO.

Packaging Information

PagerDuty offers two Status Page packaging options, one which includes public status pages, and a premium package that also features private status pages.
