+### Background
+The stock item ownership function does not change or the influence the access rights that have been set
+in admin panel. It just hides buttons for edit, add and delete actions. This means that the user who
+should have access by ownership needs to have stock item write access set in the admin panel. By
+this he also gets write access to all other items, except the item has a different owner. 
+
+Example
+
+* Stock item 1111 has an owner called Daniel
+* Stock item 2222 has an owner called Peter
+* Stock item 3333 has no owner 
+
+Set  stock item access for Daniel and Peter to V,A,E,D in the admin panel. Now Daniel can edit
+1111 but not 2222. Peter can edit 2222 but not 1111. Both can edit 3333.

 !!! warning "Existing Stock Locations and Items"
-	Enabling the ownership feature will automatically remove the edit permissions to all users for stock locations and items which **do not have** any owner set. Only a user with admin permissions will be able to set the owner for those locations and items.
+	Items with no user set can be edited by everyone who has the access rights. An owner has
+	to be added to every stock item in order to use the ownership control.
