In Universe Designer Guide page 377: Chapter 5 Building universes > Using lists of values > List of values properties and options. You can see the description as the following,
Property: Allow users to edit this List of Values
Description:
• When selected, users can edit the list of values file in Web Intelligence.
• When cleared, the user cannot edit the list.
Note: This does not apply to personal data files such as Excel spreadsheets. These are not exported to the repository.
They remain on a local machine.
A user can edit a local file, or change the target list of values for another local data file.
The purpose of a list of values is usually to limit the set of available values to a user.
If they can edit a list, you no longer have control over the values they choose.
Normally, if you are not using a personal data file as a list of values source, you clear this option to ensure that users do not edit lists of values.
However, it is not a function for Web Intelligence but for Desktop Intelligence.
