Filter by runner owner

Release notes

Runner owners are now listed in the list of runners, but there is no way to filter down the list by a specific owner (project, group, or administrator). This feature now allows you to do so.

Problem to solve

You cannot filter by a runner owner right now, which can be useful to see all runners owned by x project, group, or administrator.

Intended users

• Priyanka (Platform Engineer)

User experience goal

The user should be able to filter down a list by a specific owner.

User story 1: As a platform engineer, I need to be able to locate a runner by the project or group they were created in, so I can communicate with the person responsible for managing the runner.

User story 2: As a platform engineer, I need to be able to locate abandoned runners (the project/group they were created in no longer exists), so I can remove the runner to avoid unnecessary cloud consumption costs. 👉 User feedback

Proposal

Add a new Owner filter that suggests a list of owners to filter by based on the runners in the table.

• None would show all runners without owners
• Instance header includes Administrator option only
• Groups header includes groups
• Projects header includes projects
• Ability to search through the different options in the menu
