Question
You are preparing to migrate content from your SharePoint Server 2016 farm to a new location. All content is hosted within a single web application across 150 site collections. You have the following requirements:
- Users must be able to view existing content during the migration, but
must not make changes.
- You must minimize the amount of time that the migration takes.
- You must return all access rights to their previous state once
migration is complete. You need to configure the SharePoint site collections. What should you configure?

Why each option
Setting site collections to read-only prevents users from modifying content during migration while still allowing viewing, and the setting can be reverted after migration to restore previous access rights.
An information management policy governs content retention, expiration, and auditing - it does not restrict user editing access during a migration.
Privacy options control whether a site is public or private to external users, not whether authenticated users can edit content.
Read-only access on SharePoint site collections is a built-in lock state that allows users to view content but blocks all write operations, directly satisfying the first requirement. Applying and removing a read-only lock is a fast administrative action across all 150 site collections, minimizing downtime, and the lock can be removed post-migration to fully restore previous permissions.
Alternate access mappings define URL-to-web application relationships for multi-zone deployments and have no effect on user write permissions.
A user policy applies permission overrides at the web application level for specific users, but it does not efficiently enforce a uniform read-only state across all 150 site collections in a reversible way.
