How can I limit role permissions to specific objects or assets?

Security-related permissions and job permissions cannot be limited to certain hosts or assets. For example, a user that has the view or manage job permission is able to view or manage all jobs. Other permissions related to the backup administrator and permissions for the workload administrator can be limited by the object group criteria.
