Rebuild Index is not working as expected

In the https://pivision-us.oxy.com/piwebapi/admin/search/database.html page the Rebuild Index button does not work. It should allow the pi vision administrator to immediate re-indexing of individual AF database at the time without affecting the usability of the others.

    We understand that it is confusing to not be able to rebuild the index unless you are a member of the PI Web API administrators group, even though we are requesting to rebuild from PI Vision. With that said, with PI Vision 2020, the PI Web API Search Index is no longer used for PI Vision's search, and the PI Web API service can be safely disabled after upgrade, so long as its only consumer was PI Vision.
