Rights to Delete

• Projects are granted to users with multi-project manager or multi-portfolio manager or multi-project/request manager rights.
  • If the user does not possess any of these rights, no delete button will be displayed in the Project Core Data module and the Delete module can thus not be opened.
  • If the project to be deleted already has actual postings (recorded hours worked, posted costs or revenues) the deleting user requires an authorization to delete postings in addition to the rights mentioned above. If the user does not possess either of these authorizations, a message will be displayed in the Project Core Data when the delete button is clicked on, which indicates that the user is not entitled to delete actual postings and the Delete module will not be opened.
• Programs are granted to users with multi-project manager or multi-portfolio manager or multi-project/request manager rights.
  • If the user does not possess any of these rights, no delete button will be displayed in the Program Core Data module and the Delete module can thus not be opened.
• Ideas and proposals are available to users with multi-project manager or multi-portfolio manager rights.
  • Users who are idea managers or proposal managers can delete their own ideas and proposals.
  • If the user does not possess any of the above mentioned rights, no delete button will be displayed in the Proposal Core Data or Idea Core Data module and the Delete module can thus not be opened.
