What you should know
The alarm source is the entity that triggered the alarm. It is the event source if the
alarm is triggered by an event-to-action, or the user, if the alarm is triggered manually. The
alarm source is not displayed if the user who receives the alarm does not have permission to
view the source entity. This happens when the source entity belongs to a partition to which
the user does not have access.
