Have displays automatically inherit folder permissions
As a PI Vision admin, I would like displays to automatically inherit the permissions of their parent folder so that permissions are set automatically when users save displays to the appropriate folder.
Currently permissions for folders and displays are not tied together but they can be propagated manually using the 'Propagate permissions' checkbox in the Folder Settings dialog.

Only a PI Vision administrator can use the "Propagate permissions" checkbox on the top level folder to update the permissions on all the displays in that folder. Currently a user who has R/W access to the folder cannot even see who the top level folder is shared to. I would like to see this more like the windows files system security. If a display is "Save As" from the home folder to a container folder (copy created) then the display should initially inherit the share settings from the container folder. If a display is moved from the home folder to a container folder then the permissions should stay as they have originally been set.
