Authorization Rules

• You may delete:

  • Posts you created

  • Posts in workspaces you own

  • Posts in workspaces where you have “post action” access

• Private drafts: only their creator can delete

• Published posts requiring approval: restricted roles (e.g., editors) cannot delete

• Queued posts (except reminders): cannot be deleted

Pending-state deletions trigger a notification to the creator before removal.
