Remove delete permission from Issues log

[anovak]

Hey there, we're having problems from time to time with folks deleting
items from a particular Issue Log that ends up being a very important
item to reference later. What is the best way to remove deletion
access from Team Members? Through the List Permission Level settings
at the PWA level? If you did it there, would that apply to all
project workspaces that are created afterwards? Is there a way to
remove deletion ability from lists but not from document libraries?
I've had a rough time in the past when a project workspace list was
kept from inheriting permissions from the parent in PWA - trying to
control permissions that way. Next time I applied a service pack,
the permissions were all screwed up in that site until parent
permissions were inherited again.

Thanks,

Andy:

The simple answer is to write your own issues log web part. There's no easy
way to implement and manage this without custom coding. Don't forget that
you have a recycling bin on each site, and an administrative recycling bin
behind that. You can use these to restore the deleted items.

Any danger in increasing the time the administrative recycle bin keeps
items to 6 months to a year? Is there a max limit?

Andy:

I don't know if there's a max limit, and the only danger is disk space.

Gary, let me make sure I understand.

1. Is the coding required because if you removed Deletion rights at
PWA and it wouldn't trickle down to the workspaces or is it in order
to distinguish between deletion of lists and deletion of documents
from document libraries?
2. Does removing the list and doc library Deletion right in the
advanced permissions area of the site settings trickle down to the
project workspaces (current and future)?
3. If not, would removing the right in the central template
accomplish that?
4. If not, would you have to make the change to each project
workspace individually after they are created (or write code)?
5. Given that both recycle bins are empty (workspace level and admin
level), is there a table in any of the databases I could extract from
that would tell me who deleted the record in the list and when? Kind
of like a redo log in Oracle? Transaction log perhaps? If so, where?
6. Without looking at the moment, is there an Alert setting in a list
that will send you an email when a list row is deleted and who deleted
it?
