If "Has Owner" is selected, does that mean the GhostOwnerComponent's NetworkId is automatically set?

    If this component is added automatically to the prefab without needing another authoring component. Is its value also set by NetCode?

    The network id value is *not* set, you must set that manually if you enable "has owner". If you do not you will get runtime warnings. We have no way of automatically figure out which connection owns a ghost you spawn in server code, that's why you need to set it yourself.

    Ah! Thank you for the clarification

    But if a client predicted spawned something (like a bullet that had "has owner" enabled) would the NetworkId automatically be set?

    No, predicted spawning is only on the client, the server does not know about the predicted spawn on the client and it does not change how the server spawns it - the client just tries to do the same thing the server will do to make it look like it has less latency.
