Scenario instances in a correlator include an attribute identifying the owner of the instance. When an instance is created through a dashboard, the current user ID is specified as the owner of the instance. For DataViews, the owner is provided by the EPL that sends the DataViewAddItem event.

By default, you are only allowed to see and operate on those scenario instances that you own, that is, the current user ID must match the owner attribute of the instance. There is one exception to this default: if the owner is specified as "*", all users have access by default.
