Hi Alon,

 

Did you try creating ACL of type Write for the table for required roles?

@Alon Grod 

for which table?

If your user is restricted by Table.None WRITE ACL then even though they see Edit form they can't edit that.

See example below

ITIL User can see Edit form but entire form is readonly since INC is closed
