This can occur if another user is editing or even if you are editing it within another browser window.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In these cases you will usually see a message that it is currently being edited and you can decide whether to overwrite the edit or just view in read-only mode.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m guessing that is what has happened in this case because when you went back to the interface, the other user (or you in another window) had likely stopped editing the object and released the lock.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: how to remove  "viewing read- only"</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/84327?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Aug 2021 15:18:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:e3165dff-a912-42d0-a62a-b42516542e9f</guid><dc:creator>kirankhemnar</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;thanks &lt;a href="/members/selvakumark"&gt;Selvakumar Kumarasamy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you don&amp;#39;t have an Editor or Admin access over that interface, then you can&amp;#39;t edit it. Please add yourself/ask your system admin to add into the respective security group.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/21.2/interface_object.html#security"&gt;docs.appian.com/.../interface_object.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
