# Project Status
Each project in Ruddr has a status. The six options for a project's status are:
* **Tentative**
* **Not Started**
* **In Progress**
* **Paused**
* **Completed**
* **Cancelled**
These options get set (Figure 1) on the **Overview** tab of the **Edit Project** drawer. In order to edit a project, you must have access to the project and also have the **Edit project** permission set on your security role.
Figure 1 - Specify the Current Project Status
It is important that the project manager or another team member with sufficient privileges keep the project status up to date. When all work on a project has been finished, the status should be moved to **Completed**.
If a project is set to Paused or Completed and you no longer want time or expenses to be added or edited for the project, turn on the **Lock time and expenses** option (Figure 2) on the **Edit Project** drawer.
