I want to secure 4 fields on a screen so that only users of a particular group can eidt the fields while to everyone else, the fields are display only.
 
Is there a way to do this using Entity Based Security?

Barry,

Not through Entity based security but have a look at Lock Down mode.
This may be what you need.

Barry,

Another option would be to have those 4 fields in a Different Section
on the form and have your back-end program control whether the fields
(section) are Enabled or Disabled. Once the read is done (for
example)... you can have an after read that will check to see if the
users are of a particular group. If it's the group you want... you
make the section Enabled (changeable) ... if not you make the group
Disabled (display only).

Thank you - I think that'll work for me.
