Read-only records show a banner on the Person page above any information about the person. Read-only records do not allow additions or changes. The Discussions and Notes features are unavailable. The Latest Changes can be viewed. Read-only records often display a notification indicating that the record is confidential.
When we mark records as "read only," it prevents collaboration. Because we encourage collaboration, we cannot accept guest requests to mark a record as read-only.
