[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Processors ability to delete?

[Lisa Calahan]

Hi Eric,

We have also run into this issue. It would be a great feature if the
deletion of component records could be a separate permission from the
"delete all major record types in this repository."

We have a couple of workarounds that we've used, none of which are really
sustainable. 1) A student/staff person will report when they need a
component record deleted and a staff person with that permission will
delete the record for them (usually happens when a component record was
accidentally duplicated) and a supervisor is sitting close by. 2) The
repository manager or ASpace administrator will temporarily give the
permission group "delete the major record types of this repository"
permission to be able to delete; which is paired with a stern talking to
about being careful to not delete a resource record. 3) Move
multiple/various component records that need to be deleted into a "To
delete" grouping/fake series at the end of the resource record to have a
supervisor delete as one of the final review tasks.

Best,
Lisa
