# Alarm Status
Role Availability | ❌ Read-Only ✔️ Investigator ✔️ Analyst ✔️ Manager
USM Anywhere includes a set of statuses, which you can use to classify your alarms, track alarm status, and search alarms using statuses as a filter. See [Searching Alarms](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/alarms/searching-alarms) for more information on how to search alarms.
You can't edit or delete the set of default statuses:
* Open
* In Review
* Closed
USM Anywhere enables you to apply just one status to an alarm. You can't apply multiple statuses to the same alarm. See [Differences between Statuses and Labels](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/alarms/alarms-status#diffStatusLabel) to distinguish between label and status.
The alarms that have the "closed" status will not display in the Alarm list view.

## Differences between Statuses and Labels
USM Anywhere includes several statuses and labels you can use to classify your alarms. A status is a property of the alarm and a label is a tag you can assign to an alarm.
These are the main differences:
* You can add all the labels you need, but you are not able to create a new alarm status.
* You can apply a label to more than one alarm, but you are not able to apply more than one status to an alarm.
* Alarms that have the "Closed" status will not display in the List view in the Alarms page.
