How to remove read only in libreoffice?

 have a client with LibreOffice and she gets these files that come in calc and now suddenly they are all read only files.  I am not familier with LibreOffice, so I am needing some assistance with this issue.    I took some snapshots of the file properties. In the first one in Attributes it  is has "read only" selected but when I go to security tab it shows full control and they are all grayed out and I cannot change them. How do we remove the "read only" so we can edit them? read only 1.JPGIRead only 2.JPG

if the files are from someone else, then ask that person to remove the "read only" option before sending.

Alternately, copying the file and saving it to a location in the users home path may resolve the issue as well.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection. Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
