Use Case: Automated Deletion Policies in SharePoint
A common SharePoint use case: On several occasions, you’ve had problems with people deleting documents and list items that should not be removed, and you would rather take preventative steps than spend your time restoring content (and risk losing them). Using ControlPoint, an administrator can create automated policies to prevent document and item level deletion (or to simply notify you when something has been deleted).
Step 1: On the left side of your screen, navigate to the right level of your SharePoint environment to where you want to apply the policy, and right click on Create ControlPoint Policy.
Step 2: In the Policy Rules drop down, select ‘Control Document/Item Deletion’ and flag whether this automated policy will prevent or notify.
Name your policy, add a description, and save to complete the process. This policy prevents disaster from striking. You will not have to spend time recovering your important content from a backup and won’t have to worry about users deleting and restoring items.
ControlPoint is easy to use and extremely powerful, providing Farm admins, Site Collection admins, and Site admins the ability to create automated governance policies, security trimmed to their level of ownership, to help them better manage SharePoint.
