OBIEE analysis ownership

Question

Hi,

What's the significance of being an owner of a catalog object (analysis, dashboard, folder, etc)?   Anyone with the proper permissions can still open, edit, or delete the object.  So what privileges does an owner have over other users who have the right permissions?

Thank you Joel for your insights.

Correct but in a scenario where you'd want a non admin user to maintain access to a folder, an option would be to set them up as owner of the folder. You'd need to be careful though as the owner can delete objects by default including the folder itself.

But a user with admin rights can also do that.  right?
