Managing alert rules (BETA)

About alert rules
The Rules tab inside the Alerts section, allows managing alert definitions.
Users with the necessary administrative permissions can perform the tasks shown below with existing alerts. All of these tasks are carried out in the Alerts → Rules tab.
Note that, in future versions Alert → Rules will substitute Administration → Alert configuration.
What permissions do I need?
To access this area you need to have a role with the Manage version of the Alert configuration permission. If you only have the View version of this permission, you will not be able to perform any task here (more info about permissions here).
Additionally, you need to have alerts assigned (see Assign resources to a role). You will only see alert rules for those alerts assigned and allowing only the interaction level specified for them. In other words, the permissions grants theoretical access to alerts while assigning a specific alert grants the actual access.
