Created the issue for linked variants, but I think the idea needs more thought still!

Separate concept of variant ownership from producer

opened 07:15AM - 22 Apr 26 UTC

Currently, the producer (aka supplier) of a variant has the most permission to m…anage the variant. We could say they are the "owner" (a new concept that hasn't been labelled yet). That is, any admin of the producer enterprise has full control over that variant (eg to edit it and sell it). They may choose to extend permissions to other enterprises (with enterprise permissions), but can remove them at any time. So far, if a producer wanted to allow another enterprise to sell their variant, they could grant the enterprise permission "add to order cycle". If they wanted to allow the seller enterprise a little more control, they could grant "add to inventory", letting the seller maintain their own stock level. But we are now creating linked variants (variants sourced from another variant) to give even more flexibility. We want to retain a link to the original producer, but we also want to give the seller (almost) full control over the variant, allowing them to manage the stock, price and shopfront appearance. We have started this by adding Links between variants, and the option to assign a Hub enterprise which is set once you create the link, as pictured. But so far, system still considers the supplier as the "owner". <img width="863" height="318" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4c53e0ac-b204-4598-a3ae-a74f93d88b3d" /> We need a way to give ownership to the hub.
