Limit visibility of Filters

Using Filters in Instana to create queries is open to any user no matter what team they belong to.   It would be better if controls / visibility can be put on them. We have various Teams set up in Instana and the filters are available to be viewed and edited by all.   It should be restricted to the visibility of the team who created it.   Currently the list is large and anyone can modify..   no security around them.    Thank you

    We're currently working on adding Infrastructure perspective to better segment access to infrastructure area.
    This will also eventually lead superseding Saved DFQ filters from Instana UI entirely, while allowing team members to create "sub" perspectives of what is defined for their scope. (See Applications and Contribution filters behavior for reference)

    While this might take longer, we believe it will provide more flexibility and better control over access.
