Can there be multiple contact owners in a contact?
In Aloware, each contact can have only one contact owner. When a contact is initially added to Aloware, whether through importing, integration, or manual entry, the system assigns the contact owner as the person who first added the contact. The contact owner is responsible for managing and taking ownership of that specific contact.
However, it's important to note that an admin in Aloware has the ability to change the contact owner in the contact's profile. This allows for flexibility in reassigning ownership if necessary.

Deleting the tag will automatically remove the tag assignment from all the contacts associated with it, effectively disenrolling them from that group.
