# Labeling the Alarms
Role Availability | ❌ Read-Only ✔️ Investigator ✔️ Analyst ✔️ Manager
USM Anywhere includes a set of labels to further classify your alarms. See [Searching Alarms](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/alarms/searching-alarms) for more information.
You can't edit or delete the set of default labels:
* Closed
* False Positive
* In Progress
* Open
USM Anywhere enables you to create, edit, and delete your own labels. You can apply a label to one or more alarms. You can also apply multiple labels to the same alarm. To distinguish between labels and statuses, see [Differences between Statuses and Labels](/documentation/usm-anywhere/user-guide/alarms/alarms-status#diffStatusLabel).
Users in the Investigator role can apply and remove labels but cannot create, edit, or delete labels.
