Application Owners

Application owners identify the people responsible for an application. Assigning owners helps establish accountability and enables ownership-based filtering, reporting, workflows, and application scopes.

An application can have multiple owners with different responsibilities.

Owner roles

You can assign the following owner roles:

Role	Description
Dev	Responsible for developing and maintaining the application's code.
Business	Responsible for the application from a business perspective.
Security	Responsible for the application's security posture and remediation activities.
Watcher	Receives notifications and can monitor the application without being responsible for remediation.
