Organizations & Members
How to manage your team with organizations and role-based access in MonitorHound.
Overview
Organizations in MonitorHound allow you to manage monitors and team members under a shared account. Team members can view monitors, manage configurations, and receive alerts based on their assigned role.
Creating an organization
Every MonitorHound account starts with a default organization. To set it up:
- Go to Settings and select the Organization tab
- Enter your organization name
- Save changes
Roles and permissions
MonitorHound supports three roles:
| Role | Permissions |
|---|---|
| Owner | Full access. Manage billing, members, and all monitors. Cannot be removed. |
| Admin | Create, edit, and delete monitors. Manage alert channels. Cannot manage billing. |
| Member | View monitors, check results, and dashboards. Cannot create or edit monitors. |
Managing members
You can view current organization members and remove members from the Settings > Organization page.
Coming soon — Member invitations and expanded team management features are planned for a future release. Currently, organizations are single-member.
Removing members
To remove a team member:
- Go to Settings and select the Organization tab
- Find the member in the list
- Click the remove button
- Confirm the removal
Removed members immediately lose access to the organization and its monitors. Any alert channels configured with their personal email remain active until manually removed.
Best practices
- Use the Member role for stakeholders who need to see status but should not modify configurations
- Assign Admin role to team members who manage on-call rotations or respond to incidents
- Keep the Owner role limited to one or two people who manage billing and account settings
- Review members regularly and remove access for people who have left the team
