# Application Owners

## Purpose

The Application Owners CDP is a mapping table and should be used to join users to the applications they manage. Users can have different relationships to Applications from business owner, IT owner, asset owner, finance owner, etc. The CDP is ideal for answering questions of who the point of contact is for an Application depending on the use case.

## Understanding the Table

The table is structured with `application_id` as the main row identifier, the `key` representing the relationship type (BU, IT, ORG_Owner, etc.), and the `value` being the `user_id` that correlates with the relationship type.

A new row will be created for each unique set of `application_id`, `key`, and `value`.

Use the `last_seen_time` and a time range along with checking if `end_time is null` to determine if a user is still responsible for a given application.

## [Schema](/user-manual/docs/application-owners)

## Example Queries

Find all records for a given user or application id

```pgsql
SELECT * FROM application_devices where end_date is null and user_id = {id}
```

```pgsql
SELECT * FROM application_devices where end_date is null and application_id = {id}
```

## CDP Data Dictionary
