Hi, That workflow may work, but sounds a bit convoluted. Could you elaborate a bit more about your use case?
The way we designed it, the chown operation is meant to be performed by an administrative account, like oneadmin, or a group/vdc admin. This is because in a multi-tenancy environment regular users should not be aware of all the other users in the system. And allowing them to freely change a resource's owner poses some concerns: quotas, billing, security, etc. On the technical side, the chown operation requires VM:MANAGE + USER:MANAGE [1]. The users drop-down will show all the users that the logged account can list, i.e. has USER:USE permissions. Regards.
