When creating Contribution Pages there is an option": Allow individuals to contribute ... on behalf of an organization

The explanation is "Logged in users will be given a choice of selecting from a list of organizations that they have a permissioned relationship with OR entering a new organization. "

My understanding is:
-> The logged in user should have "Employee relationship" of organization and only such organizations will be listed.
-> "Permissioned" means, user "can view and update information for" the organization set through "Relationships"

 
This is very close to what I need BUT not exactly so.

Here is what I need:

1) I do not want logged in users to be able to edit/update organization details.
2) The logged in user should not be allowed to create a new organization. I already have approved organization through which I am willing to accept donations.
3) I want to avoid using "Employee of" relationshisp type. I can create a new relationship type instead. Not all donors through an organizations are employees of that organizations.

I am sure there would be a simple way out to get this done.
Please suggest.

I will try your suggestion.

I did not understand what you mean by saying

except that it wouldn't actually record the contribution "officially" as being on behalf of the organization.

I would want it to show up as contribution tab of the organization. And if that happens, I am fine.
