31.12. Prevent Users from Deleting Files

Prevent all users from Deleting Files

You may wish to prevent users from deleting files (allowing them only to select the "Move To Salvage Bin" option).Â This ensures that you are able to recover documents that may have been inadvertently deleted.

To do so:

Select Edit -> Preferences -> Worldox from the main menu to make changes to various settings within Worldox

Select the Everyone tab to access settings that will affect all Worldox users

Note: The Everyone tab is only available to Power Users

Highlight the Category "Copy/ Move/Delete Options"

Double click the Allow Non-Salvage Delete option to change the default setting to No if desired

Select OK
Double click the Allow Delete Shredding option to change the default setting to No if desired

Select OK

Prevent some users from Deleting Files

Open WDAdmin
Go to Security -> Groups
Select the 'Features' radio button at the top
Scroll (or type) down to File :: Delete and select it

The second column will display who has delete permissions
Above the second column, click the green 'Person' icon (second from the left, with hover text 'Add User'):

Check off the users you want to block, then click the red 'Block' button

Save the security changes

Have the user log out and back in, then confirm that they no longer can delete files at all
