What are teams & users?

View as Markdown

Teams and users describe ownership in EventCatalog.

You can assign ownership to any resource in EventCatalog.

Teams & users can be manually created or you can sync them with your existing systems.

Teams​

A team is a group of users. Teams are useful when ownership belongs to a platform team, product team, domain team, or operating group rather than one person.

Teams live in the /teams folder and can reference users in their frontmatter.

Example team page

Users​

A user represents a person in your organization. Users are useful when a specific person owns, maintains, or can answer questions about a resource.

Users live in the /users folder and can be assigned directly as owners or added to teams.

Example user page

How ownership works​

You can assign teams and users to resources using owner fields in resource frontmatter.

For example, a domain, service, message, or agent can reference a team or user id in its owners array. EventCatalog then shows that ownership on the resource page and links back to the team or user.
