Sharepoint 2010 Read Only problem mode
i am getting an error on SharePoint 2010 all user getting “ready only documents”. Server Windows Server 2008 R2 > SharePoint 2010 Windows Server 2008 R2 > SQL server 2010 User run on Citrix Windo...
Can you please elaborate on the behavior being seen by the users? In SharePoint 2010, if the site collection is locked via the Quota and Lock all users (even admins) would see all ribbon buttons grayed out and every document opened read only. This would be because of either the site collection being locked or the SQL database being marked read only (via Central Admin).
One other possibility is to check the drive space on both the SharePoint and SQL server. If the SQL server ran out of disk space, SharePoint wont be able to write any more data to the database and behaving like its locked.
