16. How to enable Read-Only in Admin mode

When Admin writes content to the datAshur Pro and restricts access to read-only, the User cannot change this setting in User
mode. To set the datAshur Pro to Read-Only, please follow the steps below.
Caution:
Entering the Admin PIN to access a locked drive will clear the User PIN. For security reasons, we
highly recommend that a new User PIN be created immediately once the drive has been unlocked
using the Admin PIN. Refer to section 13 on page 11.
