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.
