How do you deal with this issue if you don't manage access rights on a
by file basis, but only by folder basis.
Precision : you are dealing with non unix geek users, so you'd better
come up with a concept that is understandable.
My initial suggestion (as seen previously) is the uses of a Trash
Bin...
Any other idea ?
You could implement it using 3 different approaches in Nuxeo EP:
1. Trash feature: replace the hard delete feature by a move into a
trashcan (personal, per workspace or global).
2. Soft delete: define and use a lifecycle state "deleted" applied to
document instead of hard deleting them. Then handle the state
properly so that document are not shown default in document lists.
You could also add a scheduled job that would hard remove a "deleted"
document if it has been "deleted" for 30 days, for example (to prune
the system).
3. Permission restriction: restrict deletion to Workspace Manager or
only grand the "Delete" permission to a specific set of users. You
also could only allow a user to delete its own document (this would
require to implement the notion of Owner for a document).
After having thought a bit of this issue, I think my preference is
for the number 2.
Thanks,
EB.
