What user permission type is lacking if a user cannot edit their status on a project sheet because it has become read-only?

In this scenario, the user is unable to edit their status on a project sheet because it has become read-only, indicating that they lack appropriate permissions to make changes to the sheet. The user permission types in Smartsheet define what actions users can perform within a sheet.

The owner permission level has full control over the sheet, including the ability to share it, edit it, and manage access permissions. Owners can modify any content, including statuses. If the user cannot edit the status because the sheet is read-only, it suggests that the user was not granted ownership privileges.

In essence, if a user had ownership permissions, they would retain the ability to edit, even if the sheet was set to read-only temporarily under specific conditions. Therefore, a lack of owner permissions directly correlates to the inability to edit, specifically indicating that access is limited to a role that does not include the rights necessary to modify content.
