Project Level Settings

To set project-wide permissions for Lot deletion and set the default Lot Status, click on the Project Settings button at the Dashboard and then from within Project Settings click on the Lots group of options.

Updated project settings screen-shot for 20.9 update.

If the Allow deleting Lots option is unticked, this overrides individual or group security settings. That is, no users will be able to delete Lots, regardless of their security settings.

The default Lot status can also be set. In this case, all Lots are Outstanding by default.

The project can also prevent users from changing a Lot Status to closed out if there are open items filed within the Lot. This will enforce closure of all items filed within the Lot prior to the status changing to closed

The Closed-out lot setting allows users to enable or disable the ability to add or remove lot items from a closed-out lot. This setting is turned on by default.

Added the above Closed-out lot setting for 20.9.

Lastly, there is also an option to grant users from the company that created the Lot the ability to modify and update the Lot Security. This allows a number of different users to grant access to the Lot to users from other companies, or even entire companies.
