AD Self Service Web Part enables users to modify their own properties, but sometimes, you may need to restrict users from modifying specific properties. Properties can be set as editable, if you want users to update it, or read-only, if you want to restrict users.
In this article we will show you how to set the properties read-only on the Web Part.
The E-mail property is set as read-only, so user Cynthia Carey cannot edit it on the Web Part.
Add AD Self Service Web Part to a site which is called BoostSolutions, and connected to Active Directory. You can refer to another article to see how to do it.

Click on the down arrow on the right side of the Web Part and choose Edit Web Part.
