DataSkins stored in Racks do not participate in the Zope ownership
mechanism, nor the creation of the 'Owner' role.  This is because they are
not being stored via the normal ObjectManager protocols.  If you want this
behavior, you'll need to use Folders w/Customizer support, which let you
use most of DataSkins' dynamic features with "almost ordinary" Zope objects.

Folders w/Customizer Support require the DataSkins' primary storage to be
in the ZODB.
