Help: Validation Rule on Checkbox Field?

I am looking to make a validation rule so that a checkbox field can be checked by anyone, however it cannot be unchecked except by an admin user.

 

I'm familiar with validation rules and forumlas, just having a hard time getting my head around this.  Any ideas?

Hi Justin,

 

Make checkbox field ready-only at field level security to each and everyprofile except Administrator. Hope I answered your question.

 

Thanks,

Neeru.
