Why does Palisade offer a Viewer Role?

The Viewer Role lets MSPs give clients visibility into email security metrics without risking accidental changes. It balances transparency with protection.

Can a Viewer access the Domain Scanner?

Yes, Viewers can open the Domain Scanner page but cannot generate or manage the widget, keeping the environment read-only.

Is the Viewer Role available for existing customers?

Absolutely. You can assign the role to any user via the management pages, whether they’re new or already on the platform.

Do Viewers see the same data as admins?

Viewers see the same reports and dashboards as admins, but they lack any edit or configuration controls.

How does the role affect billing?

The Viewer Role is included in existing plans at no extra cost. It’s a permission setting, not a separate license.
