Hi
Ing recommended a powerful app that can help.
Other methods to consider
My question is do you want those users that you want them lock to create vendor or change anything in vendor card? Or they only should be able to see the vendor card? If those users only need to View vendor card then remove their edit permission and they always can view but not change.
Also, if they need to create vendor maybe you can utilize power automate to accomplish this. They will have a view permission but to create Vendor you can utilize the following methods. Meaning using Josh idea for team member then using vide method to create a vendor (user can start from MS Form then Vendor will created). But same user in BC only can see Vendor.
