Want to prevent contributors from deleting a used asset? This plugin is for you!
Once the plugin is activated, any attempt to delete an asset already linked to any entry by an unauthorized user will be refused.
Note: The plugin will not prevent linked assets within WYSIWYG editors fields from being deleted.
The restriction can be set by using the relevant permission on a group or user level.
You can determine if Admin
users can skip the restriction by going to Settings → Restrict Asset Delete.
You can also copy and modify the plugin config.php
file to craft/config
as restrict-asset-delete.php
to override that behavior.
Note: By default, users with
Admin
permission are not allowed to skip the restriction.
