Hi @mohammadzak ,

We use read-only components in ServiceNow to preserve data integrity, enforce business workflows, and prevent unauthorized or accidental modifications to critical records.

e.g 

• RBAC security :  Specific metrics or sensitive fields (e.g., salaries or specific approvals) can be restricted so only authorized users can edit them.
• State Management:  Fields like Close Code, or Resolution Notes are locked after an incident is resolved to ensure proper closure procedures
• Integration: Data pulled from third-party systems is often made read-only to prevent users from manually overriding it.

etc.
