Research direction

Start by tracing where the original_user and original_group metadata are populated, then compare the OMERO session values with the object owner on the origin server. Confirm the intended semantics with maintainers before changing behavior, and verify that transfer metadata records the agreed ownership values.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

As currently implemented, the metadata original_user and original_group are taken from the omero session which is not very informative. I was expecting it to store the user/group that own the object on the origin server instead. I wanted to verify what the intent was before submitting a patch that changes it to the latter.
