Folder administrator permission

Customers would like to fully controll access to folders and sub-folders without having administrator access to the entire PI Vision server. Multiple organization specific folders with their own "administrators" Theese folder-admins can take ownership and modify displays in their folder but no other folders. At the moment only administrators and the owner can change owner on displays.

    Display access is currently overwritten by folder access, which results in display owner access being defeated except when a display is in the Home folder. As an admin, I'm finding it difficult to manage the Home folder as more and more users start building their own displays. However, if I move their displays to a different folder (a user specific folder) they lose the ability to edit their display unless they belong to an AF Identity that has write access to the folder. This results in other users as well as the display owner now having write access to the display, which is not a desirable outcome. Please implement a change to prevent folder access from overwriting display access.
