Content Ownership

Content Ownership#

The intranet uses the CLM (Content Lifecycle Management) behavior to track content ownership. Understanding how ownership is assigned and inherited is important for both editors and administrators.

How ownership works#

Each content item can have:

  • Content Owner (responsible_person) — the accountable person for the content

  • Feedback to (feedback_person) — who receives feedback for this specific item

  • Authors (authors) — people involved in creating or editing the content

Inheritance#

When sending feedback, the system walks up the content tree to find the nearest ancestor with a Content Owner set:

  1. Check Feedback to on the current item

  2. Check Content Owner on the current item

  3. Walk up to parent items, checking Content Owner on each ancestor

This means you only need to set ownership at a folder or section level, and all child content inherits it automatically.
