Is there a way to lock a row based on criteria in that row? For example, I want the row to lock if the "Tier" column is a "2" or "3." Thanks.

I second Andree's response. I use this very regularly when building out more complex project plans. I will use a helper column to designate which level of hierarchy the row is in. I then set up the automatic lock/unlock rules to lock my parent rows (the unlock is to unlock the row if I change the hierarchy level).
This keeps me from having to scroll through long sheets looking for any parent rows that I may have missed locking or child rows that I may have missed unlocking.
I also double that up with conditional formatting to have a specific format set for each level of hierarchy. That helps with consistency throughout while again keeping me from having to look through thousands of lines.

How do I…
I have a large master sheet that I do not want anyone to have access to except the small team of admins. Is there a way for everyone in a dept to see the projects their dept are involved in (this is defined by a column), but only the PM can make edits to it? Bonus points if we can sort by "Status" then by "Kick-Off Date".…
Is there a way to have a master report that is pulling in the data from all of the necessary sheets and then several minor reports off this one where certain rows can be shown in certain sheets? The reason for this is because as projects get created in the workspace the admin then has to go into 5 reports and link the new…
