More granular permissions for the "delete" ability

I would suggest also limiting users from deleting comments. That would be very helpful for audit purposes.

Yes, I agree! My need is specifically with attachements. In almost every scenario in our space, the person adding an attachment did not make the task it lives in. It would be super helpful if the owner of the attachment was able to delete it regardless of the task it lives in. We don't want our users deleting the tasks that were created but they should have the ability to delete the attachments that are no longer useful.

This is a huge deal for us. We do not want users to delete tasks, but if the setting is on, they cant delete attachments in the tickets either. There need to be more granular rules for deletion

This is very important. Integrity of information and ability to prevent undue deletion of company intelectual property (including the set up and info within ClickUp) is crucial!

Please, Clickup, consider this! In fact, it makes no sense give the power of deleting when we want only give the power of creating a task!

Agreed. I have to give a user full access in order for them to create new tasks, which means they also have the power to delete the entire list. I know with Business Plus I can set it up so that they can only delete items they've created, but it still seems odd. Archiving and deleting should be a separate permission from being able to create new tasks.

Kelly Neyland: exactly!

Hi Caroline!
This is an area we are currently researching. Who can delete is a role based permission but can you share a little more about your thoughts on 'what can be deleted'?
Caroline Johnson
Hi Louise! I apologize for the delayed response. There are cases where people need to be able to delete things (even things they did not create), so we have to grant them that permission. But I don't want everyone to have the ability to delete things like custom fields, templates, people/teams, automations, etc. - the components that primarily affect the functionality of our workflow. We want to specify what someone can or can't delete. I hope that helps!

Hi Louise. I saw that another permissions related FR was marked complete (https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/spaces-more-granular-permissions). I noticed this rolled out in my own permission options for custom field related functions in particular (create, edit, merge, convert, move). I wanted to follow up on this thread regarding more granularity for DELETION capabilities. Any updates or ETA on rollout?
Louise Ewing
Caroline Johnson: Thanks so much for the follow-up, deletion capabilities
are definitely on our radar.

Hi, some news since last year ?
It’s very important to me as well.
Thank you.
