I am using this function system.alarm.getShelvedPaths and even using the example code in the manual However, it is returning usr:gateway-script as the user who shelved the alarm. I am getting the same result when when running it in a perspective session system.alarm.getShelvedPaths | Ignition User…

How to know which user shelved an alarm?
