Read-only records show a banner right below the name on the person page and allow no additions or changes. The Discussions and Latest Changes features are unavailable. Read-only records often have a notification 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.
