Authenticated Access Control
Private Status Pages
Not every status page should be public. Private status pages give internal teams and enterprise customers visibility without exposing operational details to the world.

When You Need Private Status Pages
Not all status information should be public. Internal services, enterprise customers, and sensitive infrastructure need visibility without public exposure.
Internal Services
Internal APIs, databases, and infrastructure.
Enterprise Customers
Dedicated status for your biggest accounts.
Security-Sensitive
Services you don't want to advertise publicly.
Detailed Views
More granular info than public pages show.

Security Considerations
Private status pages need proper access control:
- ✗Security through obscurity. An unlisted URL isn't access control — links leak.
- ✗No brute-force protection. Password forms without rate limiting invite guessing.
- ✗Static credentials. Password never rotated even when employees leave.
- ✗Exposing too much. Internal names reveal architecture to attackers.

Uptimy Private Status Pages
Straightforward access control that fits every audience:
Password Protection
One shared password, no accounts needed. Verification is rate-limited to block brute-force attempts.
Team Login
Workspace members sign in with their Uptimy account.
Per-Page Components
Show only what each audience should see.
Multiple Private Pages
Separate pages for each team or customer, each with its own access control.
Need your identity provider in front of the page? On Enterprise plans we configure SSO for your custom-domain status page via Cloudflare Access — SAML or OIDC with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google, and other providers — so access follows the same rules as the rest of your internal tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Use private status pages for internal teams, enterprise customers who need detailed visibility, or when you monitor services that shouldn't be publicly known. They require authentication to view.
Uptimy supports two built-in access modes: password protection, where viewers enter a shared password (no account needed, with rate-limited verification to block brute-force attempts), and team login, where workspace members sign in with their Uptimy account. On Enterprise plans, we additionally set up SSO in front of your custom-domain status page via Cloudflare Access, so your users authenticate with your identity provider (SAML or OIDC — Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google, and others).
Yes. Create multiple private status pages, each showing only the components relevant to that customer or team. Each has its own access controls.
Absolutely. Private pages often show internal service names, more granular components, and detailed incident information that wouldn't be appropriate for public pages.
Users visit the status page URL and authenticate via your configured method. With password protection, they enter the shared password. With team login, workspace members sign in to their Uptimy account. With Enterprise SSO, they are redirected to your identity provider and land on the page once authenticated.
