Manage custom event based on permissions. Merged

Hi, Banca d'Italia is asking a way to disable the custom-event (creation/modification/deletion on particular app perspectives and infrastructure entities) for a user that has not the privilege to see some application perspectives and infrastructures. Managing the group we can disable the configuration of events and alerts but it works for every event and alert and not related to the above permission on Application Perspective and Infrastructure.

    Ok Mate, we will wait for the granular RBAC on the Smart Alert when the Smart Alert will works also for infrastructure metrics.

    Correction on the status: while the RBAC changes are available already, the alerts mentioned are not just for Applications.
    Smart Alerts for Infrastructure is already in tech preview and should be available in GA later this year.

    Having granular RBAC on Smart Alerts is planned for this year for each area.
    However the concept doesn't apply to custom events. For this reason, we now already have separate permissions for Events and legacy alerts and each Smart Alert area for more control.

    Limited Application scopes already apply to Smart Alerts for Applications, so a user only seeing a few Applications is limited to configuring the idividual Smart Alert of those APs.

    As a future improvement, we'll introduce some limitations on Global Smart Alerts as well, based on visibility of the entities assigned to a GSA.
