No results were found: the query results may no longer be available or you may not have permissions

When anyone (admins included) click on an alert task in a job run we see the error `No results were found: the query results may no longer be available or you may not have permissions`.

Should we be seeing something else or is this a matter of a poor UI/UX implementation saying there is nothing to see here?

The error message "No results were found: the query results may no longer be available or you may not have permissions" is designed to address a range of potential situations. This includes instances where data might not be accessible due to reasons like deletion or modifications, or when users don't possess the necessary permissions. This can be sometimes unclear to users, as they pertain to both data availability and permission settings. This ambiguity is a common occurrence across various database platforms and products, including SQL Server and Oracle SQL. The error messaging as such is influenced by multiple factors like the scope of user permissions and the nature of file/table scans. In some cases, the error message might not explicitly indicate the presence of a table in the system, since its visibility is restricted by the user's permissions and scope.
