How to prevent inline list editing for non-admin users?

Hello everyone,

I’m trying to block inline list editing for non-admin users. As shown in the attached image, a user without the admin role is able to:

  • Edit fields directly from the list
  • Use the pencil icon
  • Change values using double-click

This happens in:

  • Classic list views
  • Workspace lists

Goal:

 

  • Non-admin users should not be able to edit records from lists

  • Admin users should be able to

  • Editing from forms must remain allowed

On each table you want to do this create an ACL of type list_edit and then in roles section just add the admin role. This will prevent all other users from editing from the list.

 

I'm not sure this is best practice as it would limit managers ability to mass reassign incidents for example to another member of the team if someone has left the company. A better way of doing it is to make specific fields not editable by doing a list edit ACL for that field. So in your screenshot is looks like you don't want them updating impact or maybe urgency as they changes the priority and usually requires work notes. So what you can do is create a list edit ACL for the 2 fields.
