How to make columns editable or readOnly?

Question

Is there a way in sharepoint 2007 to make columns as readonly or editable depending on the user roles accessing it?

Answer 1

I found this link where you can get the user group of the person http://morshemesh.blogspot.ru/2012/07/getting-all-groups-of-user-with.html

then you would just disable the other fields depending on the usergroup you want them to be disabled.

This would make use of SPServices and JQuery.
