How to customize Strapi backend (content-manager) controllers, services and validation?

@DMehaffy Is there a way to make these model controllers work with the content-manager? I think this was the initial question of the thread. As far as I understand (and I was very surprised by that): model controllers don’t run on content manager crud actions. Is that right?

What I’m trying to implement is an isOwner check, where the editors can assign an owner to a certain entity and only this (admin) user should be allowed to update this page. The documentation mentions this should be done in the API controller of the content type, by I can’t make it work - nothing inside the controller (create / update) is executed by the content manager …

Do you have any suggestions regarding that? Is that something which is planned for v4?
