Can an editor delete items?  If so, what category will allow a collegue to add notes, etc but not delete anything?

Hi there, 

Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

If a user is given an "Editor" access to a folder:

  • Editor: An editor has full read/write access to a folder or file. Once invited to a folder or file, the editor is able to view, download, upload, edit, delete, copy, move, rename, generate and edit shared links, make comments, assign tasks, create tags, and invite/remove collaborators. The editor is not able to copy, delete, or move root level folders.

When you say "Add note" did you mean edit a file or simply add a comment? If its just about making a comment on a collaborated file, almost all permission levels in Box allow this except with "Uploader" permission.

For more information on different levels of collaborator permission in Box, please take a look at this article https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196413-Understanding-Collaborator-Permission-Levels

All the best,
