Lock the columns for everyone other than Smartsheet admins.

I want to lock the smartsheet columns for everyone to avoid the shuffling the column every now and then. And users who have access to the sheet, they can only edit the details but should not be able to shuffle the columns.

Is it possible to achieve?

    Sheet editors cannot move or change column properties. Licensed sheet admins can.

    There's also an option to lock a column - this locks editing, so you can have your editors view, but not edit, certain columns while still being able to edit other columns.

    Here's a good breakout of the permissions and actions:
