[SalesForce] Chatter post Owner

I've been thinking about something:
There is no field "OwnerId" on Chatter post, how then system define who is the owner of this post?

Best Answer

There is no owner for FeedItem records. Several of the other answers here are mixing up some of the relevant fields:

  • CreatedById is the user that authored this post. This is probably the closest analog for 'Owner'. This field is writable at insert time, e.g. for use in data loads that copy chatter feeds.

  • InsertedById is the user that inserted this post into the system; generally the same as CreatedById but not always (e.g. in the case of a data load). This field is never writable.

  • ParentId is the object on which the post was made. This will always be a feed-enabled object, like User or Account. This field is writable at insert time.
