We have a shared element for which its output data is under the responsibility of various groups.
We are looking for a way that each group maintains an alarm/trending template for their particular subset of element data.
We would also like to restrict one group to be able to make changes on the other group's templates.
What are the options for this?
Just thinking out loud here, and there might be other options that people will bring to the table: you could replicate your element to create a copy, and assign each team one of those two exactly the same elements. Each of them can then apply their own alarm template to their element. Of course that would result in alarms in the alarm console also linked to either one or both those elements (in case both teams put thresholds on the same metric). Also, probably this could be considered for one element, but if you would have hundreds of those elements where you are in this situation then this would be not a good solution. So I would suggest that if it seems like a potential solution for you, then you should try it out and see if it fits your use case.

Note that there is also an option to just replicate metrics:

And another option you might look into if you are not yet familiar with it yet, is the Alarm Template Groups (Alarm template groups | DataMiner Docs). This also provides a means to apply multiple templates in combination. Not sure though if this would give you the desired result.
