Hi @chriscollins3456, can you take a look at this one?

Hi @Vladislaff - thanks for reporting.

We intentionally implemented it this way, so that a single user has only a single type of ownership. Can you please help us to understand the use case for showing duplicate entries for a single user as an owner?

I'd also recommend that we create a feature request for this, as it is part the well-understood, expected behavior of DataHub.

Thanks John

Hi @jjoyce0510.

Sometimes one person can be in both roles - a Business owner and a Data steward.

We migrated to DataHub from our inhouse data governance tool and when importing ownership with api it let us set the same user for multiple roles.

Interesting - are you actively using these ownership types to specify what the user can do?
