Why aren't the workflow properties working?

Question

I am running JIRA 7.11. I have the following workflow: Open-->Incomplete-->In Peer Review-->In QA Review-->Closed.

- Only QA and admins have permission to close. This hasn't stopped a normal user from being able to close problems for some reason...
- Only administrators and current assignees should be able to resolve issues.
- Anyone can transition issues.

I am trying to do the following:
- Prevent everyone from editing an issue after it is passed the Incomplete stage.
- Allow anyone but the reported be assigned the task for the Peer Review stage.
- Allow only QA to be assigned the task for the QA Review stage.

I have tried the following properties (and variations of them), and they either break the functionality or don't do anything:

jira.issue.editable               false
jira.permission.edit.reporter     false
jira.permission.resolve.reporter  false
jira.permission.assign.lead       true
jira.permission.assignable.group  QA

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I cannot find detailed information anywhere. The most specific information I've been able to find is here, but is hasn't worked as I thought it would.

How would I allow the user to be assigned tasks anywhere if they weren't listed under assignable user? There are only three of us, so we will frequently be reviewing each other's work.

I see how this would be easy if it were always the same people performing the same tasks.

Maybe this isn't even a feature of Jira?

James,

To be able to have tickets assigned  to you, you must have the Assignable User Project permission.

Editing issues is permitted to QA, admins, the lead, and the assignee.

If if someone isn't the assignee, they have permission to assign the issue to themselves. If I remove the ability to assign to people, then JIRA doesn't let them assign it to someone else upon completing the issue. The idea is that they will have to assign it to another person (project lead by default), since the point is for it to enter review.
