Describe the bug
Issue with new feature: Entity Ownership System #2436
The option "Manage permissions on own book, chapter & pages" is still checking for the creator instead of the custom set owner.

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to 'Setting' and give a user role the option to manage their own permissions
Create 2 users with the user role
Create a page with user 1
Change owner of page to user 2
See error: Still able to change permissions with user 1
Login with user 2 and see error: No option to change permissions with user 2

Expected behavior
After changing an owner the new owner should be able to manage the permissions for owned items instead of the creator.

Thanks for reporting @Bolthier, To be honest I totally forgot we had that owner-based permission control option.
Just updated the test and prepared a fix. Will be deployed in a patch release shortly.

No problem, Over a year's worth of updates there!
