We recommend limiting the option of deleting entries and administrative access to 1-2 people in our company.  If anyone else needs to delete or change administrative files they should contact these 1-2 people. You need to add a separate login for each person using TAC.  Steps are:
  1. Add initials for each person in reference file 30
  2. Admin \  User Permissions  Video Link
