Events are reported as "by Supervisor" but should they be "by Node-RED"?

[eprouty]

Noticed that when I am looking at the history of an entity or service call, actions that Node-RED has taken show up as "by Supervisor":

This is a bit unintuitive and would be a lot cleaner to track and understand if it said "by Node-RED".

Thoughts on if this change should happen? and would it be easy to implement?

The communication is done by the Supervisor. That is why you see that.

That is up to you. You can create a dedicated user for Node-RED and configure Node-RED to use those credentials instead.
