Id= entifier	`Owner`
Va= lue Class	`eZ\Publish\API\Repository\Values\User\Limi= tation\OwnerLimitation`
Type Class	`eZ\Publish\Core\Limitation\O= wnerLimitationType`
Criterion used	`eZ\Publish\API\Repository\Va= lues\Content\Query\Criterion\UserMetadata( UserMetadata::OWNER )`
Role Limitation	no

Possible values

Value	UI value	Description
1	"self"	Only the User who is the owner gets access
2	"session"	Same as "self"

Legacy compatibil= ity notes:

"session" is deprecated and works exactly like "self" in Public API sin= ce it has no knowledge of user Sessions
A User is no longer automatically assumed to be the owner of themselves= and gets access to edit themselves when the Owner limitation is used in Pu= blic API

Workaround for the OwnerLimitation on Users

To make sure the User gets access to themselves when using OwnerLimitati= on across 4.x and 5.x, the solution is to change the User to be the owner o= f their own Content item.

This is accomplished using a privileged user to do the following API cal= ls:

$user =3D $userService->loadUser( $userId );
$contentMetadataUpdateStruct =3D $contentService->newContentMetadataUpda=
teStruct();
$contentMetadataUpdateStruct->ownerId =3D $user->id;
$contentService->updateContentMetadata( $user->getVersionInfo()->g=
etContentInfo(), $contentMetadataUpdateStruct );
