Tami,
Here’s one idea:
Add a custom renderer for your editable fields. Your snippet has access to the row so you can check whether the row “Is Active” and depending on the value set the field to Read or Edit. You can also add a dummy class to one of the ancestor elements (using jQuery). You can use this class along with Skuid standard CSS to conditionally hide the select check box by row.
Make sense?

Irvin
