Unfortunately, Zope used "owner" in two quite different ways:

   1.  "ownership" -- this is only relevant for executable objects
       and completely irrelevant for content

   2.  the local role "Owner" which is relevant for all objects

Almost surely, Terry need to reassign the local role "Owner".
There is a method for this (--> "setLocalRole" or similar).
