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.

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!
