Adding data store owners

Added in eventcatalog@2.59.0

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 data store.

Adding owners using frontmatter

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

You need to add the id of the owner.

/services/OrderService/containers/OrderDatabase/index.mdx (example)

---
id: OrderDatabase
... # other data store frontmatter
owners:
    - dboyne # represents a user
    - webTeam # represents a team
---

Assigning owners to your data stores can provide others with context of who owns this data store 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.
