Hi All,

I have set up permission Delete contact **Contact they own** & **Unassign** , turn on permission **Bulk delete**. But that user still can’t delete contacts.

Could I ask why and how to fix it?

Thank you,

@Huetran  
To control what the user can delete, click the dropdown menu.

The options are All [objects], [Objects] their team owns, [Objects] they own, or None.

If you select [Objects] their team owns or [Objects] they own, check the Unassigned box to allow the user to delete unassigned records.

Looks like you’ve got all the permissions in place. I’d recommend that the user simply logs out and then back in. Sometimes permissions take a few moments to update 🙂
