Before proceeding with the deletion of a resource card from the Resources module, it is important to know that the deletion is permanent. It will no longer be possible to recover the information afterwards.

Prerequisite: Deletion Rights

To be able to delete the resource card, you must have the Delete right for the Resources module (admin interface > Managers/Roles tab > account/role card > Modules section > Resource (cogwheel) > Miscellaneous tab > enable deletion (valid only for cards you can edit) Create and configure a manager account

To delete attached data, you will also need specific deletion rights for each item.

Does your resource have or had a manager profile?

If yes, for the consistency of your data history, you will not be able to delete the card of the concerned resource.
We recommend setting it as exited instead.

To delete a card, you must follow a precise hierarchy.
