Hey @wss29,

yes, see:

theia/packages/filesystem/src/browser/file-resource.ts

Lines 352 to 356 in 754eb84

	return new FileResource(uri, this.fileService, {
	readOnly: readOnly,
	shouldOverwrite: () => this.shouldOverwrite(uri),
	shouldOpenAsText: error => this.shouldOpenAsText(uri, error)
	});

See also this command in our example app that makes the whole file system readonly:

theia/examples/api-samples/src/browser/file-system/sample-file-system-capabilities.ts

Lines 30 to 42 in 754eb84

	commands.registerCommand({
	id: 'toggleFileSystemReadonly',
	label: 'Toggle File System Readonly'
	}, {
	execute: () => {
	const readonly = (this.remoteFileSystemProvider.capabilities & FileSystemProviderCapabilities.Readonly) !== 0;
	if (readonly) {
	this.remoteFileSystemProvider['setCapabilities'](this.remoteFileSystemProvider.capabilities & ~FileSystemProviderCapabilities.Readonly);
	} else {
	this.remoteFileSystemProvider['setCapabilities'](this.remoteFileSystemProvider.capabilities | FileSystemProviderCapabilities.Readonly);
	}
	}
	});
