what do you mean with "belongs to "?

1- as Manager create foo Folder under .../team
2- go to url ...team/foo/manage
3- go to security tab
4- set local role foo <-> Owner
5- grant the permission "View management screens" to role Owner
6- exit your browser.
7- start your browser again with url: http://..../team/foo/manage 
8- login as foo

and it works with my Zope-2.3.0

of course with the permission "View management screens"  foo can't add
nothing
to his folder .../team/foo.
you may grant the permission "Add Documents, Images, and Files "
and  "Add Folders " to Role Owner to allow foo to add theses items to
the folder .../team/foo.

May be it is better to define a new Role named "team" to the ".../team"
folder. Then you grant the permissions you want to the "team" Role.
For each user folder .../team/foo you assign the local Role foo <-> team
instead of changing the Owner default Role.
