Kibana Alerts - User groups for alert actions

[gbocchini]

Kibana should have “user groups”. It would be a great way to automatically aggregate users that have common interests.

Example for APM Alerts:

1 - A group of Kibana users (a, b, c) should receive alerts for an APM service called Y;
2 - In the email action of such alert, the user crafting the alert, will have to insert email by email of members a, b and c…
3 - Now, imagine if, in Kibana we could create a user-group called "service Y users", register these 3 users under this group and, on the alert email action the user goes and inserts only the user-group name and the 3 members of the group receive the alert (3 members each one with its own email).

I believe the idea can be even expanded to more functionalities.
