The director wants the appraisal reports locked so only she and the registrar can open them while we finalise funding bids. I don’t want to misconfigure permissions and block legitimate legal review. Recommend the least restrictive protection that ensures only those two can view the report, explain how to set an audit trail so changes are traceable, and warn me of any risk that might prevent legal or insurance from accessing the file later.
