Project Owner Quick Start
Last updated: September 29, 2026
You define what is governed and watch how it performs: organize projects, pipelines, and database connections, choose and assign the policies, and act on what the results show. Your journey: organize, govern, observe, investigate, improve.
What you own
You own
- The governed structure: projects, pipelines, and database connections.
- Governance: selecting policies, creating assignments, and managing exemptions.
- The results: reviewing deployments, policy results, and drift, and improving governance based on what they show.
You do not own
- The platform: deploying and operating the server is the administrator's work.
- Change authoring: changesets and changelogs belong to developers.
- Execution: changes deploy through the pipeline, not through the dashboards.
