I would love to see Hubspot create a feature to protect important contacts from imports. I see this as being a button within a contact profile that locks individual contact changes from anyone but super-admins. We have had team members less familiar with Hubspot, import spreadsheets that have altered important contacts. This feature would allow the team member to have permission to change contacts, but would prevent valuable contacts from being changed. ---

I agree We need ability to ‘Lock’ certain fields on a Contact. My current needs are a bit differnt, But the fix is probobly the same. I need the ability to Mark when a Contact becomes an official customer, and then lock certain aspects of the record to all but admins. My problem is that once we have a registered custoemr, I need lock the address, main contact, main email, etc. so that it matches our billing system and only the accounting team can modify. I understand how to limit user permisions, but I need the ability to lock just certain fields to everyone, including the contact owner, while letting them modify other fields.
