# Attach a read-only account

Step 1: Open SubWallet. Please click on the round item on the upper right corner of the wallet. You would see the Account section as below:

![](/files/nqqBgY3Ra3cnd9i7hXMH)&#x20;

Please select the option "Attach read-only account". <br>

**Step 2**: Fill in the information and click the button "Add the account with identified address", and you have successfully attached a read-only account!

As the name suggest, this type of account is read-only. You would not be able to transfer funds or actively participate in any activities with this type of account.&#x20;

SubWallet helps you identify your read-only accounts with the eye symbol as shown below, so even if you are creative when naming this account, you can still identify it. Please make sure that you are not in a read-only account if you want to make transactions.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.subwallet.app/beta/extension-user-guide/import-and-restore-an-account/attach-a-read-only-account.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
