Provide an option to totally disable the new Recycle Bin functionality of ALM

Hannele
Status: Under Consideration

Please provide an option to totally disable the new Recycle bin functionality implemented ALM. We have already developed and implemented more comprehensive recycler solution to our ALM environment.

These changes we are looking for:

  • The recycle bin folder should not be visible in Test Plan and Test Lab tree structure (now it is there as default).
  • The 'Recycle and Restore' user permissions in Test Plan should not be linked to 'Test case delete' and 'Test folder delete' permissions. 
    • In case you disable 'Recycle and Restore' now also the delete permissions are disabled, that linkage should be removed. Delete permissions should remain.
  • The 'Recycle and Restore' user permissions in Test Lab should not be linked to 'Test set delete' and 'Test set folder delete' permissions. 
    • In case you disable 'Recycle and Restore' now also the delete permissions are disabled, that linkage should be removed. Delete permissions should remain.

.

Thanks in advance.

      The goal of this feature is not to be 'life saver' for persons accidentally deleting items.

    The goal is to provide a better way to 'delete' items with the ability to restore them.

    i.e.: the best practice should be to enable the 'Recycle and Restore' permission and to disable the ‘Delete’ permission, so that the end users won't be able to delete items permanently, but just to move them into the recycle bin folder and let the Admin decide when to delete them permanently.

  • This new OT recycle bin functionality implemented to ALM24.1 is actually not any 'life saver' for persons accidentally deleting items. Because if you have delete test case permissions you are still able to delete the test case just like that, the item will not go automatically to recycle bin folder which would be the 'life saver' option in this case. Who would remember to use 'move to recycle bin' functionality instead of Delete-button if you would like to delete items?
