We try to reproduce - but I have one more question
If I see your screenshot from Security of the connection folder - it must be a public folder, else you won't see the "Security" category - but if this public folder has "READ" not allowed - the user can not see this folder?!? How is it possible that the user tries to perform MultiEdit on this folder?!? Makes no sense?!?
And I asked that at the beginning - why are you using MultiEdit to set creds? You can define your creds on folder level and use "Inherited values" for all child objects - that's a lot easier and takes lee data to store...

I checked that - if you have not "EDIT" permissions on the folder itself it you won't be able to edit the childs - then you can use multi-select of your connections and choose edit => that will also open the properties dialog in multi-edit mode - perhaps than you can set your creds...
But think about to use it on folder level - it make no sense to use multi-edit and set all childs to the same value - if you run Administration=>Data Optimizer it will find these value combinations and ask you to use Inherited values instead - because that's consuming less memory, is easier to maintain and it's the way we want to use the data...

Perhaps no permission? Please check your permissions on connection or folder level - I think the needed permission is "Set assigned credentials"
Goto a connection or folder - enter properties dialog - goto catgeory "Credentials" - there you should be able to switch to "Inherited values" - it should also display the value that is set by Inherit

Then you will see!
Goto a connection or folder - enter properties dialog - goto catgeory "Credentials" - there you should be able to switch to "Inherited values" - it should also display the value that is set by Inherit
But do not try on the root folder - there it makes no sense and will be greyed out!

Why do you think its unlogical - if you understand how to use, it should be really easy to use and powerful - as an example - your main personal domain account - I use this to logon to perhaps 90% of my machines - so I can set this cred on root folder - all sub objects are set by default to use these inherited values - so I do not need to set/change it - but if I need a special account for a computer I can switch to "Personal values" and set my preferred account.
Same for all the other categories - like RDP preferences - I use for all my RDP connections the same settings - so why should I set it on each object - I just set it on root folder - and all properties are inherited to all child objects... If I want to change something I just need to edit the root object instead of editing tons of single objects
Hope that makes the concept more clearer :-)
