 HubSpot owners assign specific users to records, activities, or marketing tasks, and can be used in personalization tokens for your content. Owners are automatically created and updated in HubSpot when new users are added or existing owners are synced from Salesforce. The owners API endpoints are read-only, so you can use them to retrieve an owner’s identifying details, including the owner ID. This identifier can then be used to assign ownership to CRM records in HubSpot, via an integration, or via property change API calls.

​
Retrieve a list of owners

To retrieve the current owners in your account, make a GET request to /crm/v3/owners. The response will return each user’s name, email, ID values, create/update dates, and if applicable, team information. Two ID values are returned, which are used for different purposes:
  • id: the ID of the owner. This value should be used when retrieving information about a specific owner, and when assigning an owner to a record or activity.
  • userId: the ID of the user. This value can be used to specify users in the settings API, but will result in an error if it is used to assign ownership.
Your response will look similar to the following: 
///Example response GET crm/v3/owners
{
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "41629779",
      "email": "email@hubspot.com",
      "type": "PERSON",
      "firstName": "HubSpot",
      "lastName": "Test Owner",
      "userId": 9586504,
      "userIdIncludingInactive": 9586504,
      "createdAt": "2019-12-25T13:01:35.228Z",
      "updatedAt": "2023-08-22T13:40:26.790Z",
      "archived": false,
      "teams": [
        {
          "id": "368389",
          "name": "Sales Team",
          "primary": true
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": "60158084",
      "email": "email@gmail.com",
      "type": "PERSON",
      "firstName": "Test",
      "lastName": "Email",
      "userId": 9274996,
      "userIdIncludingInactive": 9274996,
      "createdAt": "2021-02-10T17:59:04.891Z",
      "updatedAt": "2023-02-09T17:41:52.767Z",
      "archived": false,
      "teams": [
        {
          "id": "368389",
          "name": "Sales Team",
          "primary": true
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "id": "81538190",
      "email": "salesmanager@hubspot.com",
      "type": "PERSON",
      "firstName": "Sales",
      "lastName": "Manager Example",
      "userId": 3892666,
      "userIdIncludingInactive": 3892666,
      "createdAt": "2021-05-27T16:55:57.242Z",
      "updatedAt": "2022-08-02T18:34:35.039Z",
      "archived": false
    }
  ]
}
You can also retrieve archived owners to view users that were deactivated. To do so, add the archived parameter with the value true. For archived users, there is still an id value, but the userId value will be null. The user ID is instead stored in the userIdIncludingInactive field. For example: 
///Example response GET crm/v3/owners/?archived=true
{
  "results": [
    {
      "id": "42103462",
      "email": "useremail@hubspot.com",
      "type": "PERSON",
      "firstName": "",
      "lastName": "",
      "userId": null,
      "userIdIncludingInactive": 9685555,
      "createdAt": "2020-01-09T20:28:50.080Z",
      "updatedAt": "2020-01-09T20:28:50.080Z",
      "archived": true
    }
  ]
}

​
Retrieve information about an individual owner

To retrieve a specific owner, make a GET request to /crm/v3/owners/{ownerId}. You should use the id value to specify the owner for which you want more details.

​
Please note:

The updatedAt value in the response changes based on updates to the Owner object itself. It will not be updated for changes to the User object. For example, changing a user’s permissions will not update the updatedAt value.
