HI we have users who have access to IBM i tables using the
OPENQUERY on the SQL Server. Some of the users /developers are able to
Insert rows and ALSO UPDATE. We would like to
prevent such updates from the SQL Query.

What options do I have to prevent any such updates coming from a remote
method as this?

Without knowing anything at all about your environment, I would guess
that security exit points are the probable answer. Strongly advise a
consult with a security guru like Carol Woodbury. Security is rarely
simple when being re-engineered on an existing system. Having a
security professional go over your specific needs is money well spent.
