How to Disable Email Functionality for a Particular Role? (Or limit capabilities to admin)

Is there a way to disable all email capabilities for a particular role in Splunk? The data in our deployment has to be strictly contained for compliance reasons, so email capability should be strictly limited to users with admin access. Is there a way to do this? I'm having a hard time finding this in the docs.

schedule_searchLets the user schedule saved searches, create and update alerts, review triggered alert information, and use the sendemail command.

So this capability is by default provided to power user roles.  You can clone the power user role to a custom name for your organization.  Inside that cloned version you can remove the above capability.  Some apps such as ITSI are preset to inherit the power user role so you still have to watch the inherited capability lists.
