When a user has only Read permissions to all PI Vision display folders, "Save As" gives an undescriptive dialog box

As a PI Vision Admin with 2000 PI Vision users, the unclear dialog box when saving displays has resulted in several Help Desk tickets. Currently, when the user has Publisher permissions and Write access to any display folder, the "Save As" dialog box shows the folders and allows users to select which folder to save the display. When the user has Publisher permissions and only Read access to the display folders, the "Save As" dialog box is not descriptive, leading to confusion. For these users, the display gets saved to the Home page. I would like users with Publisher permission and only Read access to the display folders to have a more descriptive "Save As" dialog box that indicates their display will be saved to Home or to show the user outside of the dialog box that the display will be saved to Home explicitly mentioning that the user does not have Write access to save the display in the folder. This feature will reduce confusion among PI Vision users, reduce Help Desk tickets, and increase ease of use of PI Vision.

    Here are example screenshots of the difference between users with Write access to a display folder vs users with only Read access. The only Read access users get a small dialog box that only asks to name the display. This is not descriptive enough and causes confusion because the user is attempting to save to the display folder when they do not have access. The user does not realize they do not have access.
