Yes, that's right. The GnuCash word for a read-only account is a
Placeholder.

On your Accounts panel, you may want to click the down arrow at the
extreme right of the headings row, and tick (check) Placeholder. Then if
you have several accounts to make read only, you can do that by ticking
(checking) boxes in the new column of the Accounts Panel, instead of
having to open up a new Edit screen for each account.

By the way, Hidden accounts also have an optional column in the Accounts
panel. If you want to hide or unhide several accounts at once, it's a
time saver too.
