Lock Record Based on Role
I'm trying to develop a workflow to handle a custom record I've created for reporting when equipment is broken. After a user creates a new record the workflow enters the state "Lock-out/Tag-out". This state can only be completed by someone with the QA Manger role, so I wanted to lock the record incase other users attempt to edit it.

Trigger On: Before Record Load
Condition: User Role != QA Manager
