Adding service owners

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 service.

Adding owners using frontmatter​

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

You need to add the id of the owner.

/services/OrderService/index.md (example)
---
id: OrderService
... # other service frontmatter
owners:
    - dboyne # represents a user
    - webTeam # represents a team
---

Assigning owners to your services can provide others with context of who owns this service 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.
