Understanding ownership and photonview

Hi,

I have studied a lot of documentation and forum posts and still do not seem to be able to either understand the ownership and Photonview aspect, or get it to work properly.

My issue is that, even when I have created an object with PhotonNetwork.Instatiate(), the photonview.ismine() method is only ever true for the client that created the room. Is this meant to be the case, or am I missing something here? And if it is the case, why?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
