$ticketowner in SLA setup

$ticketowner in SLA setup

I am configuring SLAs, and wondered who is the $ticketowner? I looked through support docs and forums, and at some point it seems to be the person that created the ticket (in which case email fetching would create who as ticketowner?) and at another it seemed to be the assigned technician (which would be perfect for me). Can you clarify who this is in the context of SLA notification?

Thanks
