<p>Of course, the safe option to make something read-only is to use the permissions in your file system.</p>

<p>Hi Aldo,</p>
<p>Yes. In "Project" - "Properties" there is a "Read only" column where you can set individual layers as "read only".</p>
<p>But this has only an effect in the respective project. Other projects could still edit the file. And of course the user can go there and disable the checkbox. Thus it is not a real "protection" - only against "accidental" edits, but not against "deliberate" edits.</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>
