What capabilities provide access to Alert Manager

I'm trying to grant certain roles access to the Alert Manager in 4.3.1, but it's not clear which capabilities control that access. Any ideas?

The role required to access alert manager is schedule_search. Here is the snippet from the security guide describing schedule search...

Can schedule saved searches, create and update alerts, review triggered alert information, and turn on report acceleration for searches.

Meanwhile, even without those permissions, a user could access the alert manager directly. Is that a bug or something?
