Comment (by simon):
Here's that list properly formatted:
* You set the "date added" field automatically when something is created
but do not want editors to be able to change it because that would break
your date-based URLs - but they still need to be able to see when it was
created.
* You're implementing finely grained permissions where only certain users
can put something live on the site (by changing the published flag for
example) - a very basic workflow mechanism. Lower level users still need
to be able to see if something is published or not.
* You don't want people to be able to edit the slug once something has
been created, again to prevent URLs from breaking.
* Items in your database were created by importing data from a third
party (e.g. a sports feed, or pulling in photos from a Flickr
photostream). You want people to be able to edit certain fields that are
specific to your site, but not edit the fields that are determined by that
external data source.
* You want to automatically save "who created this", and allow that to be
viewed but not edited later.
* You're implementing a comment moderation interface. Users of that
interface should not be able to edit the IP address for a comment, but
should still be able to view it.
