This is the policyOwner property of a storage connection policy object, a reusable storage connectivity policy template, covering zoning type and operational state, that gets attached to service profiles to define their SAN connectivity, 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 storage connection policy'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 storage connection policy 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.
