6.2. Prevent Users from Deleting Documents

You may wish to prevent users from deleting files and instead allow them only to select the "Move To Salvage Bin" option.  This ensures that you have 90 days to recover documents that may have been inadvertently deleted (note though that after 90 days, files in the Salvage Bin are permanently deleted.  To change the default purge period from 90 days, please email support@trumpetinc.com).

You can prevent all users from deleting files, or just certain users.  Here we'll provide instructions for both options:
