Missing Team
If you are unable to find your team, there could be a few factors:
- The software catalog might still be ingesting teams from the 3rd party provider (i.e. GitHub), so it might need some time to process. Try waiting and refreshing if you had just started.
- If you are still unable to find your team, you either need to create that team in the 3rd party source or ask an administrator to create it for you. Once updated, you should be able to view your team within 1 hour.
