SUMMARY
If a directory is owned by root, Dolphin grays out all modification options for it, even if current group is allowed to write to it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. `mkdir testdirectory` (should be owned by a group current user is in)
2. `sudo chown root testdirectory`
3. `sudo chmod 775 testdirectory`
4. Open Dolphin
5. Navigate to testdirectory
6. Try to add a file

OBSERVED RESULT
Options to modify directory contents are grayed out

EXPECTED RESULT
Should be possible to modify, as current group is allowed to write to the directory
