Who can edit / delete an item?

Currently, I think “Create and Edit (Full)” and “Can edit” permission level is so powerful.
Users which are granted one of those permission level of an item can COPY / MOVE / RENAME / ARCHIVE / DELETE a Project or a Task list. Those permissions should be exclusive for item owners, admins or team owner.
Imagine Project or Task list is a permanent structure in your company. You are the owner of your company. You hire (invite) employees to work in your company. Commonly, you will not allow them to change that structure, or else they will make a mess with those permissions. They should only have the permission to create / edit tasks in their own departments. Everything else related to company structure should be responsibilities of the managers or boss (item owner / admin / team owner).
Futhermore, similarly with permission in tasks, item owners / admins / team owner should be exclusive users who have permission to Delete / Merge / Convert to subtask / Archive a task.
Ultimately, my point is all changes affecting to properties of an item should be exclusive to item owners / admin / team owner.

I agree 100%. I limited delete authority to only allow users to delete items they created. However, this setting applies to attachments too. So, even though I want to give users the full authority to edit tasks, if they add an attachment, only Admin level users can delete improperly added attachments. This is just a very poor user experience. You either have to give everyone the authority to delete your entire world, or you have to manually delete attachments for them. Really!?!?

This continues to feel relevant. We'd love to see additional differentiation about where folks have permission to delete items. Having this be space-specific would be a good start.

Yeah cmon ClickUp, there is a lot of liability with the current settings available to us. What if an employee gets disgruntled and deletes everything?! Seems rather silly, especially with the amount of customizability here that this isn't available. Please advise!

Agreed. I was just looking into same, and its a huge point against clickup that this option is only available to enterprise plan.
