Private Pages and Viewer Access

Some StatiBeat pages are public to everyone. Others are restricted so only approved viewers can see service information.

Why a page might be private

Teams use private pages when they need to share status information only with:

  • internal teams
  • enterprise customers
  • selected partners
  • viewers behind a company identity provider

Common access modes

Private StatiBeat pages can be configured with one of these viewer-access patterns:

  • shared password
  • viewer SSO
  • shared password or viewer SSO

Shared password

Use this when the audience is small and the simplest possible gate is enough.

You will usually:

  1. open the page
  2. enter the shared password
  3. continue into the status page

Viewer SSO

Use this when the audience should authenticate with an identity provider.

This is common when:

  • the page is customer-specific
  • the page is internal-only
  • access should be tied to your organization’s sign-in system

Shared password or viewer SSO

This hybrid mode is useful when one audience uses SSO but another still needs a shared-password fallback.

What private access changes

Private access changes who can view the page, but not the core reading experience once you are signed in.

After successful access, you can still expect:

  • current status and live activity
  • hierarchy browsing
  • incident and maintenance details
  • subscription and management flows when enabled

Practical tips

  • Use the fallback URL or custom domain you were given; both may work depending on how the page is configured.
  • If viewer SSO fails, check whether you are supposed to use the shared-password path instead.
  • If a page stays private after you authenticate, confirm you were given the correct page link and not a different custom view or environment.
