BYOD Preferences Reference Table Setup

Help customers create and upload a k9_ownership_preferences reference table to customize how the Ownership Agent determines resource owners.

Read first

• references/schema.md — full schema, column details, validation rules, and per-type examples
• assets/example.csv — complete working CSV with all three preference types

Overview

The Ownership Agent infers owners for cloud resources with security findings. Ownership preferences let customers customize this by providing rules in a Datadog reference table. The agent reads them automatically.

With preferences you can:

• Map tags to owners: Resources with specific tag values belong to a particular team or person
• Exclude accounts: Prevent bot accounts or shared infrastructure from appearing as owners
• Provide custom guidance: Give the AI engine organization-specific context
