Setting file-deletion permissions

You can allow users to delete pages from the web server. When determining whether users should be able to remove a page from the website, carefully consider whether you want to maintain a backup copy of deleted pages.

If you do want to maintain backup copies, you must make sure that the Contribute rollback feature is enabled. To learn more about web page rollbacks, see Enabling and disabling rollbacks.

To let users delete files from the web server:

  1. In the Permission Group dialog box, select Folder/File Access from the category list on the left. (See Accessing the Permission Group dialog box.)
  2. Select Allow users to delete files they have permission to edit.
  3. You can also choose to remove any rollback files associated with a page by selecting Remove rollback versions on delete. Carefully consider whether you want to maintain backup copies of web pages before allowing users to delete both an active web page and any rollbacks versions of that page.
  4. You can either select another permissions category to modify or click OK to apply your changes.

Tip: If a user deletes a file, but not the rollback copies of the file, the file can be recovered from the rollback copy. For more information, see Replacing a deleted web page.
