Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.cortex.io/ingesting-data-into-cortex/entities-overview/entities/ownership/viewing-and-managing-ownership.md). # Viewing and managing ownership Once your catalog has owners assigned, Cortex gives you several ways to slice that data: by individual, by team, or across a team hierarchy. This page covers how to find the entities you own, filter by team, and remove ownership that's no longer accurate. ## Viewing entities you own 1. From the main sidebar, expand **Catalog**, the select **All entities**. 2. Select the **Mine** tab. A list of entities you own is displayed.
The Entities page showing all entities owned by the user.
### Viewing child team ownership 1. From the main sidebar, expand **Catalog**, the select **All entities**. 2. Select the **Mine** tab. 3. At the top of the list, click **Display**. 4. Toggle on **Include child teams**.
The 'Include child teams' option, toggle on.
5. Click **Done**. ## Viewing a team's owned entities 1. From the main sidebar, expand **Catalog**, the select **All entities**. 2. Select the **All** tab. 3. At the top of the list, click **Filter**. 4. In the **Filter** window, click **Teams**.
The 'Teams' option in the Filter window.
5. Select a team or teams from the drop-down menu. 6. Click **Apply**. ### Viewing entities owned by all teams within a hierarchy Teams can exist [within hierarchies](/ingesting-data-into-cortex/entities-overview/entities/adding-entities/teams/viewing-teams.md#understanding-hierarchies). To view a list of entities owned by the parent team and all children teams in the hierarchy: 1. Navigate to the parent team's page. 2. Select the **Entities** tab.
The 'Entities' tab on a team's page.
3. At the top of the list, click **Display**. 4. Toggle on **Inherited Children**.
The 'Inherited children' option toggled on.
5. Click **Done**. The list displays all entities owned by the parent and its children teams. Note that this setting does not persist when you navigate away from the page. ## Removing ownership To remove an owner, use the same method you used to add them. ### Removing ownership via YAML * Update the `x-cortex-owners` block in your YAML to reference only the correct teams or individuals. Ensure that all referenced teams actually exist in Cortex. * If using [GitOps](/configure/gitops.md), make sure the YAML is updated and merged to your main branch, then allow Cortex to re-sync. This updates the ownership in the UI to match the YAML. ### Removing ownership via API Use the [Create or update entity API](/api/readme/catalog-entities.md#post-api-v1-open-api) to completely replace the entity YAML, or the [Create or patch entity API](/api/readme/catalog-entities.md#patch-api-v1-open-api) to remove one or more owner and not change the rest of the entity YAML. ### Removing inherited ownership * Check if the entity is a child of a domain or group with [ownership inheritance](/ingesting-data-into-cortex/entities-overview/entities/ownership/ownership-inheritance.md) enabled. If so, the parent’s owners may be appended to the entity. * To remove inherited owners, edit the domain or parent’s owner inheritance setting (e.g. change from `Append` to `None`).
