Deleting assets
Your delete
operations depend on how your user account is configured in GV STRATUS Control Panel. Delete buttons, menu items, and keyboard shortcuts are disabled
if delete rights are denied. An asset with a child association (shallow copy) cannot be
deleted. Deleting an asset with multiple high-resolution associations (deep copy)
deletes the entire asset from multiple locations. A Media Manager has additional options
to delete parts of an asset. If
GV STRATUS security is enforced, your
credentials must give you adequate permissions. If permission is restricted, buttons,
list items, and other controls can be disabled or hidden. Bins and assets that do not
allow read permissions are not visible.
