Depends somewhat on what kind of file system you're talking about. On Windows Servers it's not too tricky to remove delete permissions from a share or folder. On some NAS devices it can be a little more difficult - depending upon how granular you want to get.
In any event you do have backups of all of these files, right? And somebody from HR has taken said staffer by the hand and gently pointed out that next time she should make sure that before she changes or deletes something that nobody else is using it? Otherwise...perhaps they need to delete HER. "There are seldom good technological solutions for behavioral problems." -Ed Crowley- Ben M.

Low and behold, she deleted some of those documents, roughly 200+. No problem, winundelete, I was able to recover about 150+. With that said, I was asked, could I remove delete option from her? I told them I would look into this situation. Now I'm stuck, because I can't seem to find a simple method to remove a delete option for her. Is there such a thing? Even so, would that affect local deletion? Or can it even be restricted to the network only (shares). Anyone ever have experienced this type of request?
