Enabling Purging

Site Administrators can enable or disable the option to purge content from ShareBase.

By default, purging is enabled, and users can do the following:

  • Select the Permanently Delete option when deleting documents or folders from ShareBase.

  • Purge content from the Deleted Items page in ShareBase for the Web.

When purging is disabled, users cannot do either of these tasks.

Note:

Regardless of whether purging is enabled, ShareBase administrators can choose to purge the personal library of a user they are deleting.

To enable or disable purging:

  1. In ShareBase Administration, click Details.
    The Deployment Details page is displayed.
  2. Choose whether purging should be enabled.

    • Select the Enable Purging check box to allow users to purge content.

    • Clear the Enable Purging check box to prohibit users from purging content.

  3. Click Save.
