If the //Owned// exception appears in the list of exceptions, this has the same effect as if the owned targets each appeared individually. For example, if Albert owned extensions 1001 and 1010, and a permission is defined for Albert as //Deny// with //Owned// in the exceptions list, then Albert will still be able to perform that action on extensions 1001 and 1010. Note also that if a third extension is added to Albert, say, 1020, that Albert would automatically be allowed to perform that action on extension 1020 without having to update the permission settings.
