Adding domain owners

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

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

Adding owners using frontmatter​

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

You need to add the id of the owner.

/domains/Orders/index.md (example)
---
id: PaymentDomain
... # other domain frontmatter
owners:
    - dboyne # represents a user
    - webTeam # represents a team
---

Assigning owners to your domains can provide others with context of who owns this domain 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.

Making changes and versioning​

You can add/remove as many owners as you like, but you may want to consider versioning if you want to keep a history in EventCatalog of past owners.
