Restrict a User's Recycle Bin Options

The ability to use a checkbox to allow or restrict a user's ability to clear all files at once from their recycle bins is available in FileCloud Server version 19.1 and later.

Administrators can allow users to clear all files at once from their recycle bins by setting the Enable Recyclebin Clear Feature setting in the user's policy to YES.

By default, the Enable Recyclebin Clear Feature setting is set to YES, allowing users to click Folder Actions in the recycle bin and select Clear Deleted Files.

If the Enable Recyclebin Clear Feature setting is set to NO in a policy, users belonging to the policy can click Folder Actions in the recycle bin but will not see a Clear Deleted Files option.

Setting the Enable Recyclebin Clear Feature setting to NO doesn't block the delete operation. Users can still remove files from the recycle bin on a file-by-file basis.

To configure this option:

Log in to the admin portal
From the left navigation pane, go to Settings > Policies.
On the Manage Policy screen, select the user's policy.
In the row for the policy, click the edit icon ().
In the Policy Settings window, select the User Policy tab.
Scroll down until you see a checkbox labeled Enable Recyclebin Clear Feature.
Choose YES or NO in the drop-down list.
