Hello admin,
I have problem with "Edit Variables" permission in QB12 and QB14.

Even the variables that are not overridden can be overridden through "Create new variable by copying this one" button.
I want to completely remove the ability to edit inherited but not overridden variables from the "Edit Variable" permission.

Note :
- In QB12. This should not block such case:
If a user has a edit variables permission at a higher level, where a variable is defined, they should be able to overwrite and modify that variable at a lower configuration level.

- In QB14. The edit a lower configuration level permission is specified by "Edit children variable"
