Adding channel owners

Added in eventcatalog@2.13.0

Owners in EventCatalog are either users or teams and are optional.

To add an owner or a team, you need to add the user or team to the owners field of the channel.

Adding owners using frontmatter​

To add owners within a channel you need to add them to the owners array within your channel frontmatter API.

You need to add the id of the owner.

/channels/OrderChannel/index.mdx (example)
---
id: OrderChannel
... # other channel frontmatter
owners:
    - dboyne # represents a user
    - webTeam # represents a team
---

Assigning owners to your channels can provide others with context of who owns this channel and how to contact them.

Creating users and teams

EventCatalog gives you the ability to create users and teams. You can read the documentation to get started.
