# Assign/Reassign Alarm (assignAlarm)

`POST /api/alarm/{alarmId}/assign/{assigneeId}`

Assign the Alarm. Once assigned, the 'assign_ts' field will be set to current timestamp and special rule chain event 'ALARM_ASSIGNED' (or ALARM_REASSIGNED in case of assigning already assigned alarm) will be generated. Referencing non-existing Alarm Id will cause an error.

Available for users with 'TENANT_ADMIN' or 'CUSTOMER_USER' authority.
