I suspect that you don't have permission to view that alert in splunk.

You need to modify schedule search permission who is generating this result, if you don't have permission then you need to ask Splunk Admin.

I had the same issue. It was caused by a long saved search name. After cloning it too a shorter one it worked well. Thanks to the contributors of https://community.splunk.com/t5/Reporting/When-I-clicked-quot-view-results-quot-on-alert-mail-quot-The/m-p/303643

hi @rrovers What version of Splunk did you hit this bug with long search name and you couldn't view the search

@burwell, this was around the time we migrated to splunk 9 but I think this was still in splunk version 8.x.x.

I have granted read/write permission to everyone, but others are still not able to open the result link.

only the admin can open it
