Allow Activation but require Deactivation approval

[sdouglasmc]

I know replication privledges are tied to both Activation and Deactivation of content.  Is there anyway OOTB to give an author the ability to activate content but require them to use an approval process for deactivation?  Seems like it should be simple enough as an OOTB feature.

When you remove permissions for "delete" on your user group(s), users within the group will not be able to see the delete feature.

You can copy and extend the out of the box "request for deactivation workflow",  to complete your deactivation requirement, http://localhost:4502/cf#/libs/settings/workflow/models/request_for_deactivation.html

I'll try that, but I wasn't aware that that is the same as Deactivate.

you would need to edit the workflow to include the split component. Follow this video tutorial for how to setup the activation workflow, but for your case, change the activation to deactivation, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inkfqz2AAus
