Is it possible to add conditions to control who can edit fields in a data grid?

I would be useful to be able to have read only access vs. full editor rights.

I think you will have to create 2 data grids, allow editing or not, then set the right visibility conditions on the component level.

To be open imho this isn’t good enough for a business platform. It should be cost of entry to be able to manage which columns are editable based on a user profile (role).
