Looks like this is a bug:

> [@\[BUG-13654\]ackUser and ackNnotes not being stored in alarm journal](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-13654-ackuser-and-acknnotes-not-being-stored-in-alarm-journal/24246):
>
> Although system.alarm.acknowledge(alarmIds, [notes], username) function has username as one of the parameters, I can’t find where it is stored in the database. I would like to show the user who acked or cleared the alarm. Is there an easy way to find out? Do I need to create a custom alarm attribute to store it?
