Owner column is missing in my products

Up until Sitefinity CMS 6.0, Ecommerce module did not track who the owner of the product is. Starting with 6.0 it now tracks the owner of any newly created product. Since we never had owner information before, it is hard to guess the owner of the product. If an upgrade is run under a certain user (i.e. you logged in as admin and then you run the upgrade) the current user (admin) is picked as the owner of the product automatically. If you did not run the upgrade logged in as the desired user and want to change the owner of the product later on, use the script below:

private void ChangeOwnerOfProducts()
{
    Guid currentUserId = Telerik.Sitefinity.Security.SecurityManager.GetCurrentUserId();
 
    using (var catalogManager = CatalogManager.GetManager())
    {
        var products = catalogManager.GetProducts().Where(p => p.Status == Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Master && p.OriginalOwner == null);
 
        foreach (Product masterProduct in products)
        {
            productLive.Status = Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Master;
 
            if (currentUserId != Guid.Empty)
            {
                masterProduct.Owner = currentUserId;
                masterProduct.OriginalOwner = currentUserId;
            }
        }
 
        catalogManager.SaveChanges();
    }
}
