Ignition 8.1.14

I am working with a team on numerous projects that inherit scripts from the same global project.  
When someone opens a child project with a “read-only” copy, that script will be marked as  
“[USER] is editing this resource”

Naturally, I am hesitant to open the real copy and begin making changes to this resource.  
Would it be possible to use a different icon for read-only? or is that icon even necessary is this case?  
Also in my current installation, is there a way to tell if that user has a read-only copy instead of asking them every time?
