Question: Add team for CODEOWNERS from other organization #21781
-
|
Hi, In documentation there is information that teams can be assigned in CODEOWNERS file. as we can see there is format @org/team-name. That means that I can assign team from different organization? Example, org Foo has only team definition: Org: Foo Teams: A,B,C Org Bar has only repos with teams codeowners from Foo organization Org: Bar Repository: XYZ: with CODEOWNERS: Thanks in advance for your reply :) Cheers, Mateusz |

Thank you @mszostok for being here and for your excellent question! Although @org/team-name is apart of the permitted syntax for adding CODEOWNERS, teams are per organization and code owners are per repository. So there is presently no cross-over in allowing CODEOWNER access from one organization’s team to another organization using that assigning syntax. You would need to configure a team per organization to encompass the users that you wish to have as CODEOWNER per repository. |

Same. Particularly in a github-enterprise context. |

4years later, I encountered the same confusion on what the syntax says is possible: Vs what was explained here - Teams from different orgs can't be mentioned in CODEOWNERS. May be it is time to update the doc to explicitly call that out... |

@nyahbhinghiPrincess It would make sense to allow this for enterprise accounts with many orgs. |
