I'm sorry, but the provided knowledge sources do not contain information on how to configure Kratos to make identity fields read-only during the settings flow. However, you can customize identity schemas and deny additional properties as per the [documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/manage-identities/customize-identity-schema#additional-properties). Here is an example of how to deny additional properties:

json {     properties: {       traits: {         type: "object",         properties: {           // ...         },         additionalProperties: false,       },     },   }

This configuration will keep your identities clean by denying additional properties. For more specific information on your question, I would recommend checking the official Ory Kratos documentation or reaching out to the Ory community for support.

The provided knowledge sources do not contain specific information on how to disable UI fields in the settings flow of Ory Kratos. The settings flow UI and its fields are typically controlled by the UI's implementation, which can be customized according to your needs. However, the settings flow does allow for the update of certain fields such as password and profile information, as shown in the [Update Profile](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/user-settings#update-profile) and [Update Password](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/user-settings#update-password) sections of the Ory Kratos documentation. If you want to prevent certain fields from being updated, you might need to customize your UI implementation to make those fields read-only or non-editable. For more specific guidance, you may want to refer to the official Ory Kratos documentation or reach out to the Ory community for support.

I'm sorry, but the provided knowledge sources do not contain information on how to disable an element in Ory Elements. Ory Elements is a set of pre-built UI components for Ory Kratos, but the specifics of how to disable a particular element would depend on the implementation details of Ory Elements, which are not covered in the provided sources. For more specific guidance, you may want to refer to the official Ory Elements documentation or reach out to the Ory community for support.

I apologize for any confusion. As an AI, I provide information based on the knowledge sources provided to me. In this case, the information about disabling an element in Ory Elements is not available in the provided sources. However, I can tell you that Ory Elements is a component library designed to make building login, registration, and account pages for Ory straightforward. It is modular and customizable, which means that you can use only the views you need and style them to match your implementation's design. The UI created with Ory Elements changes dynamically to adapt to your Ory Network configuration. For example, the sign-up form changes after you edit the Identity Schema without the need for any other action. The same is true for other options available in Ory Network, such as social sign-in connections or passwordless login ([source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-ory-elements)). To learn more about Ory Elements, contribute to the project, and integrate with your application, you can visit the project's repository ([source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-ory-elements#learn-more)). If you need more specific information about disabling an element in Ory Elements, I would recommend checking the official Ory Elements documentation or the project's repository. If you need further assistance, you can also contact Ory directly ([source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/ecosystem/projects#all-of-ory-open-source)).
