I am going to mark these as feature requests:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Access Control-> Post Types
in post type "Closing Cost Calcs", enable option "Publish" for user role "Company Admin", and deselect the option "Delete own"

I understand that you want to let users publish posts but not delete their own.
It's not possible because Access is coded in a way that sets an array of dependencies which cannot at the moment be changed.

This means whatever you select in Access and automatically also selects other things (such as delete_own selects publish), means it's depending on the "parent" rule.

Our developers are looking into ways to change this, however, there is no solution yet.

The feature request is filed here:
