[SOLVED] Ignoring power/suspend settings?

I just installed Zorin 15.2 Core 64-bit on my ThinkPad, alongside Windows 10. It's been a couple years since I last touched *nix systems.

I'm trying to set it up so it doesn't lock the screen after X minutes, or when the lid is closed. I set the suspend time to "never" for both battery and plugged-in conditions. I set "press the power button" to "do nothing" - it isn't "what to do when the laptop is closed", but I couldn't find that. I couldn't find any other settings that seemed relevant, but nonetheless: it locks the screen after a while, and when I shut the laptop.

What am I missing?

Thank you! Installing Gnome Tweaks gave me the controls I needed.
