Can I restrict media deletion to specific collections?

๐Ÿ’ป Environment/Context

  • Account types & permissions
  • Deletion & recovery

ย 

โ“ Issue/Question

  • Have a question around account delete rights. These are global when granted across several collections. Is there a way to restrict collections that have content that can be deleted by collection?
  • You want a user to delete media in some collections but not in others

ย 

๐Ÿ‘Œ Resolution/Answer

  • You can't restrict media deletion to specific collections.ย 
  • Workaround
    • Create a second account for the user with an account type with Media library > Can delete enabled
    • Give the other account an account type with Media library > Can delete disabled

ย 

๐Ÿ”– Notes

  • The Media library > Can delete permission is set per account type, so it applies to every collection the user can access
