I had the same problem. The difference is that my service was not in Hosted directory. However the error was the same "Exception setting 'ownership' role." in the ArcGISServer's log. I managed to clear this error as follows: - at ArcGIS GeoEvent Manager - tab Site / GeoEvent / Data Stores / Registered ArcGIS Server - edit your connection with ArcGIS Server (not Portal) - enable Use Web Tier Authentication - fill in the field Web Tier Username with federated user Portal for ArcGIS (not ArcGIS Server user) - fill in the field Web Tier Password with the password Portal for ArcGIS - click Register Make sure the status continues with the symbol green check Well, for me, it worked that way.
