+You can set those on the task object:
+
+```js
+let tasks = [
+{
+id: '1',
+name: 'Redesign website',
+start: '2016-12-28',
+end: '2016-12-31',
+progress: 20, 
+readonly_progress: false,
+readonly_dates: false,
+readonly: false,
+},
+...
+]
+```
+
 Apart from these ones, two options - `popup` and `view_modes` (plural, not singular) - are available. They have "sub"-APIs, and thus are listed separately.
