How do I find the owner of a saved search in opsgenie Alerts

[Neil Benton]

In my alerts page of opsgenie I have a saved search which has been shared with me.  Is there a way to identify which user created the saved search ?  

I want to go back to the original creator and suggest a change.

Hi @Neil Benton ,

Our Saved Search API will show the owner or creator. You'd first want to list all saved searches to grab the saved search ID: https://docs.opsgenie.com/docs/alert-api-continued#list-saved-searches

Then run a GET on the specific saved search which will return the owner: https://docs.opsgenie.com/docs/alert-api-continued#get-saved-search

^ Returned only shows the owner ID so you could also run a User API on that as well: https://docs.opsgenie.com/docs/user-api#get-user

You should also be able to update the saved search using this request: https://docs.opsgenie.com/docs/alert-api-continued#update-saved-search

^ Note that saved searches cannot be updated in the UI at this time, but can be using the API.
