Enabling the permanent erasure tool

The tool must first be enabled by setting the appropriate security permissions for users that will have access to the tool.

To enable the permanent erasure tool:

  1. Select Maintenance > System Administration > Maintenance Forms.
  2. Search for these two maintenance forms:
    • Data protection and management
    • Permanent erasure
  3. After locating each of these forms, select Edit for the form you want to change.
  4. Under Maintenance Form Groups, select the appropriate permissions for the security group that you want to access the form. Due to the sensitive nature of this operation, it may be advisable to only allow System Admins to access and edit these forms. However, you can select the appropriate options based on your business requirements.
  5. After these steps are complete, you can proceed to enabling the permanent erasure tool. See Prerequisite tasks for permanent erasure.
