Possible values

Value	UI value	Description
1	"self"	Only the User who is the owner of all parent = Locations 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
User is no longer auto assumed to be owner of himself and get access cr= eate children of own user content object when Owner limitation= is used in Public API

Workaround for the ParentOwner Limitation on Users (when= a User is the parent of the content being created)

To make sure the User gets access to themselves when using (Parent)Owner= Limitation across 4.x and 5.x, the solution is to change the User to be the= owner of 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 );
