# Reading mode

Plan allows users to perform writeback even when the report is in reading view. This can be enabled by checking the 'Writeback Tab' option in the Allowed User Controls menu.

This means that if there are users in the workspace that have "Viewer" access, they would still be able to perform writeback to configured destinations. Users with edit mode access can use the 'Allowed User Controls' menu, as shown above, to allow or restrict others from performing writeback in read mode.

{% hint style="info" %}
In the Allowed User Controls menu, the Writeback tab is enabled only when there's at least one destination configured and the user has the necessary permissions for writeback.
{% endhint %}

The following options are displayed for users in the reading view who also have writeback access:

### 1. Writeback

Initiate writeback of table data to the configured destination by clicking the **Writeback** button. Please note that Plan acknowledges any row-level security (RLS) in the original dataset. If the viewer has RLS rules applied to them, Plan will only writeback the RLS-applicable rows.

### 2. View Logs

Users can view writeback logs by clicking on this button. They will be redirected to the [logs](/planning/data-writeback/logs.md) page.
