What I'm trying to accomplish is to provide the ability to disable alerts during system maintenance.
I've read the current suggestions in this forum, but none seem as easy as what I'd like (I'm still somewhat of a novice). To complicate matters, the maintenance windows sometimes occur on a non-fixed schedule.
I know that one approach would be to create a new group and provide certain access rights to that group to enable them to manually enable/disable the alerts. So far unable to locate the details on what is needed to implement this approach. I thought perhaps the "power_user" role would provide sufficient rights, but apparently not since they already have read/write permissions and still can't enable/disable the alerts.
Actually, I'd like a better approach, but providing alert enablement/disablement rights would be at least usable.
It would be quite helpful (and educational) if someone could provide more explicit details on how to provide a non-admin user/group with the rights to enable/disable alerts.
Thanks
