If this solves your problem, kindly mark it as the best answer.
try creating formula lookup field to accoutn name, they want be able to modify it, you also have to create different pageayouts for particular users, since you want some of them to modify account name
If you checked only 'Visible' checkbox then that field will be editable to the users in that profile (Read+Edit). If you click on both Visible & Read-only then that field will be "Read-only" to that users in that profile.If you do not check both checkbox for Visible & Read only then that field will be Hidden from users in that profile.
Mark thumbs up if I got this right: 1. Checking neither box = hidden 2. Checking both boxes = visible and read-only 3. Checking only visible box = visible and read-write 4. Checking only read-only box = Salesforce won't let you do it
Terrible interface. I would change it to: 1. Checking neither box = hidden 2. Checking "Read-Only" = visible and read-only 3. Checking "Read-Write" = visible and read-write (checking this would also disable "Read-Only")
While creating formula field, "read-only" is checked automatically and is frozen and it is able not to check "visible". So case 4c(Checking only read-only box) exists and field in this case will be hidden
