That will however allow ALL licensed users to delete a record from the form - not just Administrators and Sub Administrators.. If you are ok with general users deleting, then you are good to go. I am not sure you want to really be doing that. My personal preference on custom applications is locking that option out.

I tested again after enabling that and now I can see the Delete button in the mid-tier and can now delete records.

I have it ingrained in me now to flush the MT cache and then clear the local browser cache before testing changes so it looks like it may in fact be a bug. I did open a case with support for this and mentioned that it does work in the WUT just fine. I was hoping to avoid adding a button plus AL because there are multiple forms where deleting records will be required. -Rick ___________________________ Rick Westbrock Support to SPAWAR - IT Service Management Project, Code 54520 QMX Support Services Office (619) 524-2303 <tel:%28619%29%20524-2303> From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2013 11:17 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Sub Administrator delete records permissions ** Can the sub admin delete from the user tool? If so this could be a bug at the MT level (assuming that you have gone through the motions of refreshing the MT cache as well as the browser cache for the affected sub admin user.) Your best bet in the interim would be to create a button with access to the sub admin to delete those records.

I had thought it was possible but it appears that only full Administrator accounts have the ability to delete records. I was trying to avoid having to create a button and write workflow to allow sub administrators to delete records on their forms. I have given the forms in question Sub Administrator permissions for the required group and made sure that my user is in that group as well as the Sub Administrators group and has a Fixed license. I also made sure the forms have the Delete menu item enabled already (I can delete records as a full administrator just fine).
