Note: I'm currently working with a group of users who are not tech savvy. The managers want a group of employees to have the ability to create and upload Word Templates to a document library. The same group of employees will fill out these templates from time to time. The managers are afraid that some employees will fill out a template, and accidentallly save it or check it in the SharePoint document library. What are my options to prevent the users from filling out a Word template and saving/checking it in to the document library? Can I set custom permissions to allow them to upload a file, but not to edit files? Thank you in advance for all of your help and input.

Hi, I am not sure but you can try with Manage Hierarchy permission.Regards, Pratik Vyas | SharePoint Consultant | http://sharepointpratik.blogspot.com/

Hi AskMicrosoft, You can create a custom Permission Level with add item but no edit item permission in Site Actions > Site Settings > Modify All Site Settings > Advanced permissions > Settings > Permission Level > Click Manage Hierarchy > Copy Permission Level > Give a name to the new permission level > uncheck Edit Items checkbox > Click OK. Give the new permission level to appropriate users/group, then this users/ group can add/upload document but not be able to edit document. Or you can also try to use an approval workflow, in this way, document need to be approve by the users who have approver permission after it had been modified. Hope this could help.Best regards. Emir
