Locked Layer Files can be edited

L77

We setup our data in Arc Map and are transitioning over to using ArcPro for our organization.

All of our data is in an editable geodatabase that only 4 users can edit, then we push a copy to a employee geodatabase and from that data we created layer files that are locked so nobody can edit them. They can change the symbology but they can't delete anything.

I added one of the locked layer files to ArcPro today and accidentally deleted a feature. Do you know how I can fix this issue so the layer files will stay locked in Arc Pro?

 

This is an example of the editable feature class:

 

This is the copy:

 

This is the layer file that should not  be editable:

In reviewing the non-editable layer file information, this feature class is has full editing enable (select, insert, update, delete privileges).  What I would do is create a database view of the layer in question.  By default, it's read-only.  Users can visualize, change the symbology, label and more but cannot edit the data.  As a database view, you can set its privileges to a database role and/or database user.
