User preveilages on Events and Alerts

We need to know how to manage Permissions for user/group for:

User able to create event on his infrastructure scope / zone.

it means that user can create event with threshold for cpu for example on his authorized host zone ONLY. and he can not see / delete other events related to other zones.

Because once i checked "Configuration of Events, Alerts and Smart Alerts for Applications, websites and mobile apps" the user can enable and disable all exist events plus he can delete it .... even it created by another users and not related to his zone.

and when i unchecked it user can not have event page at all !!!!

    Granular access control for Alerting is something we're currently working on.
    As a first step, the "Configuration of Events, Alerts and Smart Alerts for Applications, websites and mobile apps" permission is being forked into separate areas.

    In the meantime, we're adding Smart Alerts for Infrastructure, where further granularity will become available.

    However, the Custom Events page will not get further investments and as most entities are not carrying ownership metadata, applying limited scopes to them is not possible.

    As a general direction, our goal is to enable self-servicing groups, where a scope boundary can be defined and users only have the permissions to make changes within that scope, with optional view scopes of other shared entities. This planned to first be introduced for Application perspectives in 1Q 2024.
