    Just as a thought, you could place your data on a SkyDrive and restrict rights to edit data.

    Hello Lovenish, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Only an administrator will be able to "edit" security permissions. If the other users are administrators, then nothing you do will completely prevent them from just being able to undo any changes you made since they will still have the same amount of access as you do as administrators. They would need to be "standard users" instead of administrators to truly be able to prevent them from being able to.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
