It seem’s like the frontend/`OwnerViewDao` only supports CorpUsers as owners, and not groups, even though the `Owner` -model <https://github.com/linkedin/datahub/blob/master/metadata-models/src/main/pegasus/com/linkedin/common/Owner.pdl|states> that owners can be groups. Is this a bug or by design?

I'm not very familiar with this class but I agree, it does seem like a bug. I would expect to see another line below `corpGroups = _corpGroups.batchGet(getGroupUrns(ownership))`

I bet this class just wasn't extended to also support groups. I'd encourage you to put the fix up if you'd like that functionality

Sure. The short term solution is of course to fix the comment in `Owner` so that users don’t end up breaking their UI.

I created this issue so that we don’t forget about it: <https://github.com/linkedin/datahub/issues/2138>

perfect- here's a change to update the comment in pdl:
