| Type | Permission Label | Controls |

How to Delete a Subject
To delete a Casebook:
- Navigate to the Casebook you want to delete.
- Verify that there is no data within the Casebook, including Event Dates.
-
From the casebook-level Actions menu, select Delete Subject.
-
In the Delete Subject dialog, select a Reason.
- Click Continue.
- In the confirmation dialog, type “DELETE”.
- Click Delete.
Vault deletes the Subject record, the Casebook, and all associated object records. This action cannot be undone.
Enabling Casebook Deletion
By default, no roles have permission to delete a casebook. You can create or edit a Study Role (provide the Delete Casebook permission) to allow users with that role or profile to delete subject casebooks. For details about configuring specific reason options for subject deletion, see Configuring Reasons for Change.
