Remove Read Only icon from list
MaverickCS5 The approach I would recommend is to leverage the conditional formatting capabilities of the JSON formatting. By checking the `Editor` field of the list item, you can determine whether the current user has edit permissions or is a public user, and then show or hide the read-only icon accordingly. To implement this, you'll navigate to the list column you want to format, click on the "Column settings," and select "Format this column."
In the JSON formatting editor, you can then add the code snippet I provided earlier, which will handle the logic of displaying or hiding the read-only icon based on the user's permissions. The beauty of this solution is that it's entirely self-contained within the list column configuration, without the need for any custom CSS or the deployment of a complex SPFx solution. This makes it a straightforward and efficient way to address your requirement, while aligning with Microsoft's recommended practices for customizing the user experience in modern SharePoint environments.
