Rename or add descriptions for Read, Write, Read Data, and Write Data permissions in PI System Explorer

In PI System Explorer, the definitions of the Read, Write, Read Data, and Write Data permissions are not clear from their names. Their names are also misleading. For example, Read permission can be interpreted as "General Read", making Read appear to include Read Data permission. Please consider renaming these to something more accurate. If the definitions of the permissions cannot be concisely summarized in the form of the permission names, consider providing more information either in a tooltip or in an additional column in the "Permissions for" box in the Security Configuration window of PI System Explorer.

    We cannot change these names as that would entail changing their definition in the AF SDK and would break backwards compatibility and applications that rely on the AF SDK. In terms of the description, we feel that this is a one time event, meaning the user only needs to know these definitions one time, therefore the LiveLibrary online documentation or the built in PI System Explorer Help system are adequate. Therefore we have no plans to implement this request.

    Stephen, even though you're declining a bunch of suggestions, a lot of which are mine, I appreciate that you are writing reasons for the decline that are specific to each suggestion. It helps us all get a better feel for the direction that OSIsoft wants to go with the PI system.
