[Bug?] Attempting to pin Feature Compatibility Version (FCV) without appropriate permissions silently fails

When attempting pin FCV on a cluster without sufficient account permissions via the UI [0], it silently fails and does not show any feedback to the user. The network response is a relatively generic 403 Forbidden error. Support noted that a user must have the "Project Owner" permissions to do so and to reach out to the Org Owner to get elevated privileges. Ideally the UI should actually notify the user that this is the case. --- [0]: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/tutorial/major-version-change/#pin-the-fcv-for-your-cluster
