Access to synthetic monitoring features varies whether a user is on our newer user model or our original user model.
For an explanation of user models, see User models.
Users on original user model

Access can also vary depending on whether you have default roles or custom roles:
Default access
Admins have full access to all synthetic monitoring features on an account.
Users have access to all synthetic monitoring features except secure credentials and the ability to delete monitors, monitor downtime, and private locations.
Restricted Users on accounts with original product-based pricing have view-only access to all synthetic monitoring features except:
- Secure credentials
- Private locations (although they can query a limited amount of data via NRQL)
