What is an Owner on an ItemType?

[StefanKruk]

We created some ItemTypes and every ItemType has the Field 'owner'. We do not know for what this field is and we didn't needed it in the past. Now that we are using the Backoffice and created some UserGroups and Users we have issues with searching in Backoffice. If an own created User click in the Field to search for an Owner we get an Internal Server Error because the User doesn't have the Rights to see the possible Owners.

Question:

• For what is the owner on an ItemType?

I hope you can answer these question and give me an deeper insight in how hybris work.

Hi Stefan - owner is an attribute from the ItemModel class, inherited by all classes that extend GenericItem or one of its subclasses. Owner attribute is not mandatory and allows the linking (or owning) or any itemType to another itemType.

I can't comment directly on the internal server error mentioned - perhaps you could elaborate with details from the hybris application log, with any error or stacktrace.

I Updated my answer. The Error appears because the User doesn't have the right to see the possible Owners. This leads to an Internal Server Error. With the admin account everything works fine.
