    Hi,

    Permissions are for whole sheet, not rows. You can give Admin, Editor - can share, Editor - can't share and Viewer permissions.

    You are using "Lock rows" to protect their content from changing:

    • You must have Owner or Admin permissions to a sheet to lock or unlock columns and rows
    • Others with Owner or Admin permissions will be able to edit and delete locked columns and rows
    • Editors will be able to see locked columns/rows, but they won't be able to delete or edit the data in them. 
    • If you want to limit access to certain information you can use Report, Publish the report and share the link or Update Requests workflow.

    Hi @RUPESH KUMAR

    I hope you're well and safe!

    To add to Beata's excellent advice/answer.

    Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

    • Premium App, Dynamic View
    • Premium App, WorkApps
    • I recently developed a (what I call) Dynamic View Light. It's quite advanced, but in short, it uses cross-sheet formulas, INDEX/MATCH, and a specific structure and method, so it can only show data that should be available.

    Would any of those options work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

    Best,
