Overview
Users without delete permissions can delete files from multi-file documents. This article explains why this is possible and what permissions are needed for deleting files from multi-file documents.Products and versions
All supported M-Files versions.Explanation
In M-Files, a file and a document are different concepts. A multi-file document is considered as a single entity that can contain multiple files. Deleting a file from a multi-file document means only a change to the contents of a multi-file document entity.Hence, if a user has edit permissions to a multi-file document, the user can modify it which means it's possible also to delete files from the multi-file document. This is perfectly normal - deleting a member file of a multi-file document does not mean deleting a document but only changing it, and edit permissions are enough for this.
