# Private Status Page

In order to configure a status page to be private/restricted, you can configure it under your status page settings (Click on <mark style="background-color:green;">Status page</mark> in the sidebar) in the "Privacy" section.

### Restrict by network IP

In the Restrict to IPs field, enter a comma-separated list to define which IPs have access to the status page. You can use:

* Individual IPs
* CIDR notation (grants access to the full IP block)

### Restrict access to members

Upon checking this checkbox (and clicking on Update), only members with permission to the status page will be able to visit it.

Unauthenticated users will be greeted by a "Sign-in" page which prevents access to the status page without authenticating.

In StatusPal, there is a special member role called "Viewer," which grants a user viewing access to a status page or organization.

Each subscription plan comes with as many viewer members as subscription seats, which makes StatusPal <mark style="background-color:yellow;">much more affordable</mark> than competitors.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.statuspal.io/platform/private-status-page.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
