Hi everyone, we're working on a new Workpapers solution which will build a foundation that can support more granular access controls in the future.
We have plans to enable the ability to restrict access to sensitive workpapers and documents, ensuring only the right people can view or edit them, and all actions will be auditable. We'll be rolling the new solution out in phases, and we'll keep you updated on the progress for permissions through this idea.

When setting up and adding workpaper packs, the roles assigned as Manager, Partner and Practice Admin can Add/View a Workpaper Pack for our Firm Financial File. These 3 types of users are rarely the owner or director of a firm. The only way to keep firm data protected is to have the director managing settings, adding workpaper packs and assigning the workpapers. This does not happen in practices. It is very rare the owner is setting up workpaper files. Why is there no option to directly lock the Tax and Workpapers of the firm? Seems far out of touch and creates a huge waste of time for the owner to be doing this kind of work when there's new jobs to be added.
