If you try to change the name of the **Filter**, you will see the **Save Filter** has been grayed out because this user is restricted from performing this action.

Since this is not a restricted action you will be able to proceed with the duplication and will now see it in your list

If you attempt to make a change the **Save & Close** button will be grayed out (inactive) because this is a locked and restricted filter set
