# Oct 2025: Stackby Tools - Column Permissions

Manage all your table's column permissions with our new admin tool

In addition to view permissions, you can now lock down individual columns — preventing unauthorized editing of critical fields like pricing, legal terms, or system data.

### **What it does**

-   Restrict editing of specific columns to certain users or roles
    
-   Set columns to read-only for specific team members
    
-   Protect formula fields, locked pricing fields, or audit columns from accidental edits
    
-   Manage all your table’s columns and user permissions in a single admin view.
    

### **Use cases**

-   Lock a "Approved By" column so only managers can update it
    
-   Prevent sales reps from editing negotiated pricing fields
    
-   Protect auto-generated ID or timestamp columns from any manual modification
