It's not configured to auto acknowledge.

> So we capture an AckUser (ideally) when you move from unacked → acked for a given event, but there’s no user associated with an active → clear transition, because that’s happening whenever the alarm’s condition is no longer met.

Active to clear is capturing a user. I'm not sure why and it's happening with many alarms. The project shouldn't have any alarms to auto acknowledge and as far as I checked, it doesn't have. So I'm a bit confused.
