Despite being greyed out, clicking them does still work though. Practical example: the /var/www sub-folders belong to www-data:www- data and file permissions are set to 775. I add the regular user to that group to be able to edit files without requiring root access. He can now edit files and create folders, but the Nautilus buttons do not indicate this.
