I'm guessing this is a permissions error. But everything I've tried enabling hasn't fixed the problem. Does anyone know why this is greyed out or how to fix it?

For me, this was caused by a schema lock (as suggested by Kirtep). I had edited the RuleID field separately in Python with an update cursor. Once I closed the Python window, I could edit the Representations again. So I suspect the feature class was used somewhere else (e.g., another application, another user), and had an active lock on it.
