I want to limit some users from being able to remove/clear the history on particular fields in ALM. Not sure of how to best go about that.

Yes, you can restrict users from being able to delete ALM entity history.

This can be done via removing a Permission under the Groups and Permissions for a particular user group, within Project Customization.

The Permission to remove is Clear History. Find this under Administration tab which is under the Permissions tab for a specific user group.

As you might not want to limit this feature for all users within a group, recommended best practice is more to restrict specific users. This can best be done by making a new custom user group, editing the permission, and then adding the users you want restricted to this one group only.

A user who is in a group who does not have Clear History permission should receive an error in QC/ALM that shows Error: No Permission to remove an item.

That looks like it will work great. Didn't know that admin permission was even there.
