I am still not sure about question, for the classic datagrid, if you remove the delete permission, the delete button disappears, that's the only thing you need to do.
The delete permission appears to remove any possibility of deleting a record for specific accounts/users.
The problem we have is that the X button is too volatile on the primary entry to the record on the grid.
If the delete button isn't there how else can the row/record be deleted?
Or are we limited to excluding/including delete privilege to specific accounts.
Is it possible to delete via the edit form?
A workaround we can manage is to have a delete tag [X] check box as an added field then
later delete such records by an admin, rather than data entry personnel.
In any case I'm just seeking general insight into how the mechanism works, to best configure
the app.
Ok, I see. Yes, the delete button is only there (it asks confirmation before deleting, though).
A delete button in the edit form is in our todo list but at the moment is not an available option.
As far as I have understood correctly, the aim is to prevent someone from accidentally deleting all the data records in the grid. However, it should be possible to delete individual data records.
You probably mean the "delete all" button, that can be disabled by setting $enable_delete_all_feature = 0.
The original post referred to the standard delete X button on the individual records.
