Hide Edit Form option from SharePoint Online List

[Ataul_Hossain]

Anyone know how to get rid of the Edit form option when you click on a SharePoint list item. Mainly the Edit columns option.

If it can be based on permissions that would be great so the owner can show and hide the columns they want to be editable/not editable.

No replies to this discussion? I have the same question. I would like to prevent some users from editing the form on a list so that they can't enable columns that they shouldn't get to see.

Remove their Edit Permissions and Replace them with Contribute. Edit Permissions allows users to Edit the list itself, Contribute will not. 

When a user tries to edit this with Contribute permissions and save, it will fail with an access denied.
