Scalingo metric alert rule creation permissions for collaborators

Question

Scalingo provides metric-based alert rules for deployed applications, allowing thresholds on container CPU, memory, response time, and error rates. Notification targets can include email addresses and other channels depending on the console version.
The unresolved boundary is whether collaborators with restricted account roles can create or edit alert rules, and whether notification channels are scoped to a single application or shared across the entire account. Teams need to know who can configure alerts before setting thresholds and evaluation windows to reduce notification noise.
Can collaborators with non-owner roles create and edit metric alert rules?
Are notification channels scoped per application or shared at the account level?

Alert Rule Creation Permissions
Collaborators with non-owner roles generally cannot create or edit metric alert rules in Scalingo. Rule management is restricted to users possessing Owner or Admin privileges.

Notification Channel Scope
Notification channels are application-scoped by default. However, organization or enterprise plans may permit account-wide channel configuration, which requires specific administrative roles.

Verification Steps

Verify your user role within the Scalingo console under Account → Users.
Attempt alert rule creation via the application dashboard; observe any permission error messages.
If using API, check the HTTP response (expect 403) when calling the alert creation endpoint with a collaborator token.
