By default, creating or configuring status pages is an administrative function in incident.io. Typically, workspace admins or owners have the permissions to create new status pages, adjust settings (like components, domains, etc.), and delete or archive pages. Regular team members (responders) usually cannot create a new status page without the appropriate role permission. However, once a page is set up, incident updates to that page can be made by incident responders (for example, an incident commander can publish updates to a public status page during an incident) – you wouldn’t want only admins to be able to post updates, since that would bottleneck communications. So the model is generally: admins set up and maintain the page configuration, whereas incident leads or communication leads can publish updates to the page during an incident.
