Integration of Alerting with Security

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi,
is it currently possible to integrate X-Pack Alerting with X-Pack Security?
Unfortunately I couldn't find anything in the documentation about it.

What I am hoping for is some way to allow users to list/put/remove alerts, without granting them any other cluster privileges. I can't give those users full cluster managing privileges just to allow them to manage their alerts...

There are 2 roles that you can assign to users, watcher_admin and watcher_user. They are documented at the bottom of the page here: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/5.4/built-in-roles.html
