Team ownership features are only available on Growth and Isolation plans.
If you ever wondered, "Who are the experts on this app in my system?", you can find exactly that with Ownership teams on IcePanel.
Ownership teams are a great way to show groups of people as experts on an object, giving better accountability for keeping everything updated. On each assigned object, you can see the names, roles and emails of those in the assigned team(s), so you can speak to the right person quickly. Object details can also be locked so they're only editable by team owners.
Only organization Admins can create, edit and delete teams.
To create an ownership team from the landscape page:
Navigate to the Teams tab
Click the Create team button
If you have already created a team, click on the team dropdown and then the New team button at the bottom of the list
Name your new team
Click Create team
To create an ownership team from the management page:
Navigate to the Ownership teams tab on the left
Click the Create team button

You can invite people in your organization to any team on the management or landscape page.
To invite people to a team:
Navigate to Ownership teams in the management or landscape page
Select the team you want to add people to from the dropdown
Click the Add team member button
Click Add on the people who you want to add to the team
You can also use the search bar to find specific people
To remove people from a team:

You can assign an owner to your objects in a diagram or model view. This clarifies which teams are responsible for the object and allows viewers to see the emails of specific team members.
To assign an owner:
Select the object you want to assign an owner to
In the right-hand menu, click on the Assign to owners field. By default, it'll be empty
Select the team you want to assign ownership to. You can select more than 1 team
Click on the dropdown icon of a team to see all team members (name, role). You can also copy their email address by hovering on the mail icon
You can view all the teams' objects to get an overview of their scope within your landscape.
To see this:

Click the View team objects button.

Object details such as their name, type, and status can be locked from being edited by non-owners. When you lock an object, only Admins and Owners can edit the details or delete it from your model. All outgoing connections from that object will also be restricted from being edited. Editors can still remove locked objects or their outgoing connections from the diagram.
To lock object details:
Select the object you want to lock
In the right-hand menu, select the team(s) you want to lock edit access to in the Owner field
Click on the Editable by field (by default, this is set to all editors) and change it Owners only
Locking an object to a team restricts non-owners from editing the details of the object, however, nested objects will still be editable. For example, if you lock an app, other teams won't be able to change the name of the app, but they'll be able to add, edit, or delete objects such as components within the app.
If you attempt to remove a team you're a part of as an Owner of a locked object, you'll see a confirmation prompt. Only do this if you're certain that you no longer need access to the object. You'll need an Admin or another owner to give you access again.
When non-owners view a locked object, they'll see a banner at the top of the details menu. They'll be unable to change or delete the object from the model.
