Teamflect allows admins to control who can delete submitted feedback. This setting helps organizations determine whether deletion should be restricted to administrators, shared with managers, or available to the employees who submitted the feedback.
By configuring the Feedback Deletion setting, admins can control who sees the Delete option and which submitted feedback they can remove.
Managing Feedback Deletion Permissions
Step 1: Access the Admin Center and Feedback Module
Log in to your Teamflect Admin Center at https://admin.teamflect.com
Navigate to the Modules section via the left-hand sidebar
Select the Feedback module to open its settings
Step 2: Accessing the Deletion Setting
Locate the Feedback Deletion Setting. Choose who can delete submitted feedback from the following options:
Admins only
Feedback providers and admins
Setting | Who can delete feedback? | Which feedback can they delete? | What happens after deletion? |
Admins only | Admins can delete submitted feedback. Feedback providers do not have the option to delete their submissions. | Admins can delete submitted feedback that they have access to manage. | The deleted feedback is removed and is no longer available to users who previously had access to that feedback, including the recipient or manager. |
Feedback providers and admins | Admins and the person who provided the feedback can delete submitted feedback. | Feedback providers can delete the feedback they personally submitted. Admins can delete submitted feedback they have access to manage. | Once deleted, the feedback is removed and is no longer available to the recipient, manager, or other users who previously had access to it. |
Use Cases
Centralized Control
Select Admins only when your organization wants administrators to manage all feedback deletion requests. This can be useful when feedback needs to be retained for organizational, HR, or compliance purposes.
Employee Control
Select Feedback providers and admins when you want employees to have control over feedback they have personally submitted while still allowing admins to manage feedback when necessary.
Best Practices
When choosing a feedback deletion option, consider:
Who should have control over submitted feedback? Choose whether deletion should remain an administrative responsibility or also be available to feedback providers.
Your organization's feedback policies. Consider whether submitted feedback should remain under centralized administrative control.
The sensitivity of your feedback program. More sensitive feedback may benefit from restricting deletion to admins.
Employee ownership. Allowing feedback providers to delete their own submissions can give employees greater control over the feedback they provide.
Feedback visibility. Deletion permissions are separate from feedback visibility. A user may be able to view feedback without having permission to delete it.
Final Thoughts
The Who can delete submitted feedback setting gives admins control over how feedback deletion is handled across the organization.
Choose Admins only when deletion should remain centrally managed, or Feedback providers and admins when employees should also be able to delete feedback they have submitted.
Because deleting feedback removes the submission from users' accessible feedback records, admins should select the option that best aligns with their organization's feedback management and retention policies.
