Users have the ability to delete any file by default?

[DavidP5219 2]

By default when you set up a user they have the ability to delete anything in your server. This seems crazy to me that any user can just delete your files. I would think only the administrator should be able to do that. Any way you change this default setting for future versions? I only found this out today because one of my users mentioned he was able to do that and sure enough when i went in there all users have that ability by default. What does everyone else think?

Hi, no they don’t. You must have granted then delete permission in their user setup.

I don't think I would do that but if you are sure then maybe I did. I will for sure be checking now when I set up a new user.

Luke is correct. I complained about this years ago as I had stuff go missing from my server. It turned out in the ancient builds (like 2016), it was on by default. Since then, the dev team has it disabled and you must physically enable it for the user.

I was pretty green when I set that up the first time, probably just didn't see it. Live and Learn. As a guy coming from Mezzmo back in the day, this is such a superior media server and everything just works. Wish I had found it much earlier than I did. Thanks for your help guys!
