About deleting records
- Only Admins control whether standard users can delete deals through setting up of Profile Permissions.
- Admins can delete Deals, Contacts, Company, and Activities (Individual/Mass).
- Standard users cannot delete Contact, Company, Deal, or Activity until Delete is honoured in Module level permissions and Mass Operations in Profile.
- Standard users can delete deals or activities, but only if given permission by the admin under Setup > Users & Permissions > Profile> Edit Profile.
- If you don't see the option to delete your Contact, Company, Deal, Activity then you are not an admin. You'll need to have your Salesmate admin delete the record for you, or you'll need to seek a Profile with Delete rights.
