I am trying to setup roles in elasticsearch so that the user can create and setup alers in Alerts and Actions tab. I am getting "No permissions to create alerts" message in Alerts Tab. Any idea how I can setup these access rights?

Hey there,  
Please double-check if the user(s) have at least one of the following features allowed.

> **[Alerting and Actions | Kibana Guide \[7.12\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.12/alerting-getting-started.html#alerting-security)**

> Security  
> To access alerting in a space, a user must have access to one of the following features:
> 
> - Alerting
> - [**APM**](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.12/xpack-apm.html)
> - [**Logs**](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.12/observability.html#logs-app)

> See [feature privileges](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.12/kibana-privileges.html#kibana-feature-privileges) for more information on configuring roles that provide access to these features. Also note that a user will need `read` privileges for the **Actions and Connectors** feature to attach actions to an alert or to edit an alert that has an action attached to it.

Thanks.
