This is the policyOwner property of a 64-bit threshold definition object, the definition of one 64-bit-valued statistics threshold, used for larger cumulative counters such as total bytes transferred, that belongs to a threshold policy, indicating whether the object's policy is controlled locally or by a higher-level UCS Central/global policy resolution. An admin deciding whether they can safely edit a 64-bit threshold definition's settings locally checks this field first, since a globally-owned policy will simply be overwritten on the next resolution cycle. For example, if policyOwner on a given 64-bit threshold definition shows it is owned by a policy source outside the local domain, an admin knows to make the change there instead of on this instance directly.
