Content Policies - How to Control the Editing and Deletion of Content  

What are content policies? 

Content policies are a feature that allows registry administrators to better control users' actions around the editing and deletion of content. It allows registry administrators to allow or deny editing and deletion to different classes of users, such as preventing or allowing Stewardship Organisation administrators from deleting registered content. 

What is ‘deleting’ content in Aristotle Metadata Registry? 

As the Aristotle Metadata Registry is intended to be an authoritative record of all the ‘business intelligence’ around data, content cannot be permanently deleted from the registry. However, in order to facilitate the maintenance of an up-to-date registry, Aristotle supports the soft deleting of content, which removes it from display in the registry. Soft deleted items can be restored if they are required again.
