How can I restrict or allow specific team members to edit certain fields in MS Project Professional
Hello Everyone,
I am using MS Project Professional Desktop and would like to restrict team members from editing certain fields. For example, if I add four fields—1. Planned Start Date, 2. Planned Finish Date, 3. Actual Start Date, and 4. Actual Finish Date—I want the team to enter the actual dates, but they should not be able to modify the planned start and finish dates. Could you guide me on how to set this up in MS Project?
Thank you!

- Adding one more option to what Paul describes, you can also import baseline fields at any time from another original file you have saved.
Ignacio Hello husnain250 ,
There isn't an out of the box option to set up field level security in Project Desktop - if you can edit the file, you can edit all data. You could potentially build something in using VBA etc. to secure / lock certain fields. You could look at using the baseline options although if the user can edit the project file, they can update the baselines. If you used Project Online, you could make use of the protected baselines feature - that might help.
