[SOLVED] Protecting sheet with grouped columns

Hello.
I'm in a pickle with my current project. I need to protect a part of a sheet which contains grouped columns. The problem is that when the sheet is protected whenever I click on the + or - the columns don't expand or retract http://imgur.com/0r9mtTM (excel probably counts this as editing). Does anyone know a way around this? Also, please try it out before posting anything - I have tried several protection options and all of them didn't work as I wanted.
