Hi team- should an admin be able to view a user's trash items in the content manager if the user deleted the file(s)? We've confirmed that an admin can see the trashed files under the owner's account (in the content manager) but not under the user who deleted them. Any ideas why this might be or is this not expected functionality?

Hi ​@Enathanson Box 👋 Currently, we have two options to sort and filter all items within the Trash folder. When the admin accesses the Content Manager and navigates to the Trash folder of a managed user (not owned by an external user), can they view the 'Items I Deleted'?

 

➡ Resource: Managing Trash

 

To sort and filter all items within the trash folder:

  • The Items I deleted filter displays all items you have deleted, regardless of who created or owns the item.
  • The Items I own filter displays all deleted items you own, regardless of who deleted the item.

 

The admin can also try Using Instant Login for a Managed User's Account.

Hi Jay- Thanks for clarifying!  My question more pertains to what the Admin can see from the Content Manager.  Can they see trash for users who own trashed content or who trashed content?  Or is your post asserting that an admin should view the trash from the user’s account using “Login as User”?  Thank you!
