### 2.1. Insert row configuration

You can set category-based rules on rows that are bulk-inserted. For example, you can disable row insertion for certain row dimension categories, enforce distinct values, or source categories from an Excel spreadsheet.

### 2.2. Insert Row Access

You can explicitly set permissions for users to insert rows in read mode. Navigate to the Insert ribbon > Manage Rows > Insert Row Settings > Insert Row Access to set permissions.

Enable the **Allow in Read Mode** toggle to allow users to insert rows in reading mode.
