Issue/Introduction

Seeing "This entity has relations to other entities, which can't be found in the catalog. Entities not found are: group:default/default-team" warning in the Tanzu Developer Portal.

Cause

A possible cause of the waring is that there is no such a Group resource named default-team in your environment. However, you are setting default-team as the owner of catalog component. Here is a example configuration you might be using in your own environment.

  annotations:

spec:
  type: service
  lifecycle: experimental
  owner: default-team

Resolution
