MSCRM - What is the difference between Owner and Owning user?
In CRM 2011, the entity has 3 fields:
- Owner,
- Owning Team, and
- Owning User
Owner of an entity record can be a user or a team.
Owner is the system user who owns the entity record.
If Owner = User, then Owning User = Same User and Owning Team = null
If Owner = Team, then Owning User = null and Owning Team = Same Team
You can display Owner on the form, but not the other two. Those work behind the scenes. We should be only concerned with the Owner field.
