ETL software cannot get contact owner

The first question, with my ETL software, I could map all GM contact fields and transfer them to the MCRM contact organization. The only field that I can’t is the owner (the owner is always the creator of the contact).

I found that they are privileges in these prvAssignContact entity fields .

Is it a trick to remove this security or something that I could do with the SDK Toolbox that I just started using yesterday?

In SO, I found this topic, Can I update the Contact Owner ID using LINQ? but just don’t know if it will be useful for me and if so, where to put this code.

P: S: I definitely should do it alone ... so I would have liked the friendly tips!

In addition to Guido's answer, if you use impersonation in your IOrganizationService, it will automatically set the owner for genuine users.

It will be useful to know which ETL you are using, however it is important to consider when you transfer data. If you are creating a new record, specifying the owner is enough to set the field with EntityReference

        Entity contact = new Entity("contact");
        contact["firstname"] = "John";
        Guid ownerId = new Guid("BFC777ED-5E79-E111-8489-00166D63156F");
        contact["ownerid"] = new EntityReference("systemuser", ownerId);
        service.Create(contact);

If you are updating a contact, you need to use AssignRequest as described in another section

        Guid contactId = new Guid("90F8889F-EB95-E781-8417-000C44420CBC");
        Guid newOwnerId = new Guid("BFCAA4ED-5E79-E781-8349-00155BB3156F");
        AssignRequest assignRequest = new AssignRequest
        {
            Assignee = new EntityReference("systemuser", newOwnerId),
            Target = new EntityReference("contact", contactId)
        };
        service.Execute(assignRequest);
