Viewing or Changing the Owner of a vApp or Catalog
Ownership of a VApp or Catalog object is expressed in an Owner element that you can retrieve from the object.
This element contains a User element that identifies the owner with a reference to a specific user. The initial
owner of an object is the user who created it.
A system administrator can view or change the owner of a VApp or Catalog object using the procedure
documented in “View or Change the Owner of an Object,” on page 73.
