Make it possible for an Explorer Administrator to delete collection/packages created by others

When the user is Application Administrator in Explorer they do not have the rights to delete a packages/collections created by a different user. This goes for Shared Collections and also for Packages sent by portal.


The Packages sent to Portal are the worst, because those are actually sent by the service account Meridian is running as. Usually you do not use the service account to login the application to do this (when authentication is going though OKTA and/or AzureAD this will not even be possible).


Can you make it possble so an Application Administrator can delete any type of collection from the system?


Please check the attachment.


Kind regards,

Ronald.

    Yes, or make a repository privilege for it so we can determine per role who can do this?

    I suggest to make this possible for users with either the Repository Administrators or Application Administrators privilege.
