The user must be a member of the organization that contains the object.
NOTE You cannot modify the Owner of a Media or VAppTemplate object.
3 To change the owner of a vApp, make a PUT request to the Owner element's rel="edit" URL and supply
an Owner element in the request body.
The User element in the Owner element references the new owner. See “Example: Change the Owner of a
vApp,” on page 74.
