Get the owner address of the contract

Moralis General
#1

Hi guys,
I need to get the owner address but I don’t figure out how to do it with Moralis, any idea ?

#2

how could you do that on chain? it can depend from contract to contract, if the contract has a function named getOwner then you can call that function

#3

For example I’ve got a function :

    function addVoter(address _addr) external onlyOwner {}

onlyOwner come from OpenZeppelin and when I deploy my contract the first account from my Metamask is considering as the owner, how it works ?

#4

what do you mean with how it works?

#5

How Morelis know my first account is the owner ? Or maybe I don’t understand something

#6

Moralis doesn’t know that, the contract will make that check and will allow only the owner to call that function.

I’ve still work to do to clearly understand thx cryptokid
