Access denied while creating Alert / Contact point

Symptom

A non admin (SSO user) may get a permission error when creating Alert / Contact point as follows.

{"accessErrorId":"ACE0947587429","message":"You'll need additional permissions to perform this action. Permissions needed: any of alert.notifications:write","title":"Access denied"}

or

{"accessErrorId":"ACE3104889351","message":"You'll need additional permissions to perform this action. Permissions needed: any of alert.provisioning:read, alert.provisioning.secrets:read","title":"Access denied"}

Resolution

Workaround: Login as admin to create contact point / alert as an SSO user isn’t provided permissions to create contact points or alerts manually.
