Feature Request - New Recycle Bin settings

Could we get a setting for "Only allow purge of documents older than [XX] days" ?

I would really love to have a required safety net when users are allowed to have delete rights. Just in case. They can purge if needed, or the docs will purge automatically after the age limit, but I'd also like to have a "waiting period" after they delete before the docs are truly gone.

I could rig up something with Workflow, but it would be nice if it were built in.

Am I the only one?

The recycle bin is already acting as your safety net between deletions and purges.

The recycle bin already can be setup to purge document older than xx days. By giving them delete but not purge they are basically deleting it.

Basically it sounds like you are wanting a recycle bin for the recycle bin? Is that semi accurate?

Ah, you are right!

For some reason I never realized that "Purge" was a privilege.

Basically, I want them to delete but not purge, so when they realize they mistakenly deleted a doc they can recover it.

Thanks!

This already exists. It should be in the recycle bin settings in the administration console.

I was actually looking at an enforced minimum, not the enforced maximum specified in the settings, but the tip from Chris' post about not giving "Purge Entries" privilege will do the job.

Thanks!
