Only the systems administrator can create or delete object records (here, that's the registrars).  We don't normally delete records, except those that we might create for testing purposes. We do not delete old loans, or temporary deposits, or any other non-permanent type records.  I think the TMS tracks deleted records, but I am not certain how to get this information.

I think this has hit the list-serv before, but I was wondering who within your organization has permission to delete object records from TMS?

How is this tracked, and what are your policies for deleting records?
