I would not use "root" term here. It is about "permissions". Sometimes
you (or administrator) just need to change the permissions of the target folder.
"Linked" is not quite correct in this case.

My variant:
You may receive errors if you don't have permissions to write into a
target folder.

"Linking" is used mostly for "connecting" shared library, there is
nothing about docs.
