AEM As a Cloud | Allow versioning but restrict page deletion

[VeenaVikraman]

Hi Team

    I have a requirement in which the authors should not be able to delete the page , but they should be able to create versions of the page. As per my research , delete permission and versioning is tightly coupled. Is there any way ? I have a workaround which is mentioned here https://aemexperience.wordpress.com/2020/03/07/aem-permission-tricks-remove-delete-access-without-im... .

• But other than this , is there any other way ? 
• What is does privileges do ? I tried giving privilege as jcr:versionManagement .

• What does jcr:versionManagement actually do ? Can we give that only if the user has delete permission on the node ?

TIA

Hi @VeenaVikraman 

Another idea could be https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager-ideas/enable-page-versioni...

That might not work for them right now. We need the create version button enabled for the authors while delete option is disabled.
