Using Restrict Asset Delete
---------------------------

[](#using-restrict-asset-delete)

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.

Users Restriction

Admin Restriction
-----------------

[](#admin-restriction)

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.
