Collaborative Ownership Rules

Collaborative Ownership Rules

C4 Model map in the Codigy Catalog is designed to be maintained by multiple owners. Here are the basic principles:

Each C4 entity can have the following ownership statuses:

No Owner Assigned;
Owner Assigned;
Multiple Owners Assigned;

Who can be assigned as owners:

Team (or multiple teams);
Tribe (Group of teams) or multiple Tribes;

Review system for changes on a C4 Model map:

Owner rights 👑

Members of the team that is assigned as the owner can:
• View entities on the C4 map;
• Create, edit, and delete entities without approvals;
• Approve and decline changes suggested by anyone who is not an owner;
• Add notes;
• Add reviews of the entities (1-5 star or Yes/No votes);

Non-owner rights 👀

Anyone who is not an owner of the entity can:
• View entities on the C4 map;
• Suggest changes that will require approval by the owner;
• Add notes;
• Add reviews of the entities (1-5 star or Yes/No votes);

Account owner rights 🤘

Account owner has super-admin permissions and can make owner-level changes to any entity.

Changes to an entity without an owner 🤷

Entities without assigned owners will behave as if anyone is the an owner.
