This is probably the dumbest question I’ve had to ask so far 
Why can’t I make a menu item read only? I have an updateable dashboard that is updateable in the Material Folder but they need to see the data on the shop floor.
It appears that only certain types of Programs are able to be marked Read Only.
Selecting a different one of these changes the available options.
I noticed our dashboards don’t have that option but other Program Types have it available to check read only.
However, if your dashboards aren’t updateable then I think wouldn’t be a problem. If you have updateable dashboards like us, we have had to make two versions for those that we wanted to limit, one that only displays data then another that is updateable.

This is the only way I know of to accomplish this kind of security. You could copy the BAQ, and just remove the update method from the copy. That should return the same data. Good luck!
If you want to get fancy you can check the security in the dashboard.
One more thing to manage though.
Well just copy the dashboard (as @smason said/implied), not the BAQ.
I have WAY too many almost-the-same BAQs myself.
