In EWM Eclipse client, provide an option to open a Project Area (in Team Artifacts view) as Read-Only

I had two project ares open in EWM Eclipse client. One (production) I was looking at the process configuration to help me decide what to change in a 2nd project area (test area). I inadvertenly changed production and caused a few headaches. If there were an option to have opened production in read-only mode then the above incident would have been avoided. Thank you!

    The EWM Ideas review board has evaluated this request. This request, while valid, is unlikely to be addressed in the next 18-24 months due to other higher priority items on the Backlog. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may be reassessed or reopened for additional discussion in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.
