How to define app, access, and contract owners

Corma splits application ownership into three distinct roles, each responsible for different notifications and tasks. Assigning them correctly ensures the right person is notified when action is needed.

Overview

Role	Responsibility
App owner	General owner of the application. Notified if the access owner is unavailable for tasks, contract renewals, security updates, or warnings for this application.
Access owner	In charge of managing accesses to this application. Notified of manual tasks regarding access to it.
Contract owner	Manages the contractual information of this application. Notified of contract renewals or approaching notice dates.

Access owner is the primary contact for manual provisioning/deprovisioning tasks; App owner steps in as the fallback if the access owner is unavailable.

Setting an owner

From the Applications table

Go to the Applications module
Click the Owner cell for the app you want to update

From a specific app's page

Click into a specific app
Find the relevant owner field in the left sidebar:
- App owner — under Core information
- Access owner — under Security
- Contract owner — under Contract
Click the owner's avatar

Either way, a searchable picker opens showing active users, with the current owner checked.

Select a new user to reassign that role, or close the picker to leave it unchanged.
