How does DX auto-assign service owners?

When you create a deployment in DX—either via API or deploy rules—DX automatically:

  1. Creates a service in the software catalog
  2. If the service does not have an explicitly assigned owner, DX attempts to assign a default owner based on recent pull request authors for the related Git repo.

DX will continue to attempt to auto-assign Service owners based on latest deployment data, until one of the following occurs:

  • The auto-assignment suggestion is “accepted” in the UI
  • Ownership is explicitly set via the DX UI or API
