Hi! Have you considered using a dashboard with custom action buttons? If not I suggest taking a look and see if it can meet your needs. We are using a dashboard with custom action buttons for approve/deny project requests. This is geared toward Executive Leadership having a simple to use one stop for taking action on a project request. Seems similar in nature to as what you describing. Feel free to reach out to me and Ill share what we have done. Hope this helps!

FollowRead-Only Views
I would like to create read-only views. I envision this being a toggle on the View Edit screen where even (especially) a super user cannot change data. I would like actions, such as mark time entry on timesheets as approved to still function.
Use Case: We have specific individuals in our company who are responsible for approving time whom are not responsible for adjusting anything else on a project. I want them to be able to view a lot and also approve anyone's time. Making these individuals super users appear to be the best approach, but this give them grossly too much power.
I envision these approvers specifically using the Team View for approval.
Short of creating creating dozens of validation rules, a special permission class (like Financial) may be the only other mechanism to achieve this request.
Part 2: A second toggle enabling "actions" (or certain buttons within the ribbon) might also be nice. //However, I should be able to adequately restrict buttons via profiles for my specific users.
Part 3: Read-Only Views might also be helpful for executives who want to see everything in enhanced permissions, but should not be changing anything.

You can use validation rules to prevent even super users from changing data.
