Entity.IsReadOnly

Hello, I've created an ETL app which is essentially a console app that uses the orgservice to make backend data inserts/updates. I'm currently looping through a large set of entities, and performing an update on each entity. I'm getting the following error when I update 1 of the entities:

"The object cannot be updated because it is read only"

I want to be able to identify this state ahead of time, in order to avoid exceptions. My ETL program threw the exception above for an entity. However, a debug watch showed that the entity's read-only property had a value of false, appearing to indicate that the entity was *not* read only.

So is the IsReadOnly property of the entity not reliable or is it used to indicate something else?

Adding to Guido's suggestion, run your code under the context of a user who has the maximum rights on all your CRM entities.
