Hello, I am configuring Hello World project according to this tutorial, but I am little bit confused by the result.
After finishing the tutorial:

• Start play mode
• Start as host in one instance, start as client in another instance
• Connecting as client produces following warning in the console : "Only the owner can invoke a ServerRpc that requires ownership!"

However, as stated by docs:
If we are a client, we call a server RPC. This server RPC simply sets the position NetworkVariable on the server's instance of this player...

So, can a client call a server RPC or only the owner?

Maybe the solution is as simple as changing this code section:
if (NetworkManager.Singleton.IsServer) { var randomPosition = GetRandomPositionOnPlane(); transform.position = randomPosition; Position.Value = randomPosition; } else { SubmitPositionRequestServerRpc(); }
to this?
if (NetworkManager.Singleton.IsServer) { var randomPosition = GetRandomPositionOnPlane(); transform.position = randomPosition; Position.Value = randomPosition; } else if (IsLocalPlayer) { SubmitPositionRequestServerRpc(); }

Or am I not understanding it correctly?

Thanks for the reply.

@Cosmin-B do we need to add some clarification to the guide here or is their an issue with the code as written?

I had the same warning ("Only the owner can invoke a ServerRpc that requires ownership!").
The solution is simple. This warning is called when I started the client side. Just add this line to the HelloWorldPlayer.cs script in the NetworkStart Method :

public override void NetworkStart()
{
	if (!IsOwner) return;
	Move();
}

When we start the client the NetworkStart Method is called on both instance of the player script (the host one and the client one).
