📌 FAQ – Deleting a Training Need
Who can delete a training need?
-
A user can delete a need they contributed themselves, if the need hasn’t been already approved or denied. After the need has been arbitrated, only someone with override permissions can delete it.
-
If the need was contributed by someone else, another user can delete it depending on two factors:
-
Whether Hierarchical Approval Workflow is enabled
-
Whether that user has override permissions
-
When Hierarchical Approval is enabled:
Users at higher levels in the hierarchy can delete needs contributed by lower levels.
When Hierarchical Approval is disabled:
A user can delete a need only if:
-
They are the original contributor, or
-
They override the need during their contribution period (if they have override permission).
Important Notes:
- ⚠️ If a user contributed and approved the same need but is outside their contribution period, they will not be able to delete it.
➤ Check and update contribution dates if needed. -
🔒 If the configuration “Managers prevented to Replace or Delete end-user requested needs” is active, the delete button will not be available to any manager (regardless of level) for needs created by end-users.
