Make folder retention policies non-removable (or always visible) to Editors
Today, Editors can remove the visible retention policy from a file or folder’s details panel, even though the underlying non-modifiable retention policy remains active in the background. This means that after an Editor removes the visible policy, there is no indication in the UI that retention still applies, which makes it appear as though the content is not under retention at all.
This behavior causes confusion for end users and admins, and makes it harder to support clear records management and compliance because enforced retention is not transparently visible in the interface.
Feature request
Please provide one or more of the following options:
-An option so Editors cannot remove the visible retention policy from files and folders (only Admins or users with Retention permissions can).
-If Editors can “remove” it, the UI should still clearly indicate that the item is under an enterprise retention policy (for example, a non-removable badge, icon, or message in the details panel).
-An admin-level configuration that controls whether retention policies are removable or always displayed when they apply.
Implementing this would make retention behavior more transparent, reduce user confusion, and better support compliance needs.
Thank you.
EvyL.
