Netlify Deploy Log Visibility for Non-Owner Team Members
0 reputation · 01 Mar 2021, 09:52 UTC
Goal: Allow a collaborator with a non-owner site role to inspect build logs for a failed Netlify deploy without granting full site settings access.
Netlify surfaces per-deploy build logs in the dashboard under Deploys, and failed deployments typically include dependency install errors, missing environment variables, or non-zero build command exit codes in the log tail.
Log viewing is gated by site access, but the exact role boundary is unclear: it is not stated whether a collaborator limited to deploy or read-only permissions can open the Deploy log panel for a failed build, or whether owner-level access is required.
Role names and required scopes may differ across Starter, Pro, and team plans, and long-term log retention after site deletion is not confirmed.
Can a non-owner team member view failed deploy build logs in the Netlify dashboard? Which minimum site role is required to open the Deploy log panel? Are deploy logs retained after the associated site is deleted?
