Tópico modificado em: 2015-03-09

This article describes how the user interface is modified on a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 site for which the related content database is set to be read-only (a read-only site).

The user experience of a read-only site is characterized by the following:

• Common tasks that do not require writing to the content database are fully available.

• Most of the common tasks that require writing to the content database are not available, either because they have been disabled in the user interface or because the user is no longer allowed to apply changes.

• Some common tasks that require writing to the content database appear to be available, but return errors.

This article describes the common tasks that are not available and the common tasks that return errors on a read-only site.
