Editable
is an option for displayed objects, cells, and notebooks that specifies whether their contents can be edited interactively using the front end.

Details Details

Even with the setting Editable->False, the contents of an object can still be copied as a whole.
Editable is an option for InterpretationBox and TagBox, as well as for StyleBox.
Setting Editable->False effectively allows you to "write protect" elements of notebooks.
