Lock Templates for Editing

Optionally, TaskRay Project Templates can be locked down for editing using Salesforce Validation Rules. 

By setting a restriction on editing templates, you can prevent users from modifying the template project and task details, including checklists and dependencies. In order to set such restrictions, you would need to create validation rules on three TaskRay objects: TaskRay Project, TaskRay Task, and TaskRay Checklist. 

In the instructions below, the validation rules lock a project in a way that only a System Administrator can edit the templates. However, the same concept can be applied to any object and any user profile by adjusting the parameters of the validation rule.

With these validation rules in place, users with restricted template editing access will still be able to clone the templates to create new projects. The cloned projects will include all of the tasks and checklists, as well as be open for editing by all users.
