@David -

It is a part of the SCCM-SCSM connector already. This is just an option for people that don't have SCCM.

It would be nice if we could just grab this from Configuration Manager since it has all this, the perfect solution would be to get it from SCCM on a Re-occurring Schedule.

@kpm -

You'll need to create a type projection which spans your custom class and the ConfigItemOwnedByUser relationship type. Then you can create a CSV data file which has two columns - user domain, user name. That will create the relationship to the user.

You can get more informatio on CSV import here:

Hello Travis, what are the chances we can get a how to for importing and assigning assets to users from a csv file? The existing documentation demonstrates how to do this with existing CIs, but I can't find anything for a custom CI. I have a custom ci created, and can import the assets without issue, but for the life of me I cannot get the "System.ConfigItemOwnedByUser" field to be populated by the AD user name.
