Enhanced Permission Controls for Deleting Past-Dated Schedule Blocks

What’s New

• Deletion of past-dated schedule blocks is now controlled by the “Add Past-Dated Blocks” permission.

• Past-dated blocks show a disabled (greyed-out) delete icon when the user lacks permission.

• A tooltip explains why deletion is restricted when hovering over the disabled icon.

• Permission behavior is applied consistently across Provider Blocks and Resource Blocks.

• Users without both Add Blocks and Add Past-Dated Blocks permissions cannot access delete actions at all.

How It Works 

• Navigate to a scheduling screen that displays Provider Blocks or Resource Blocks.

• Locate a schedule block dated in the past.

• The system evaluates the user’s permissions.

• If the user has Add Blocks but not Add Past-Dated Blocks:

  • The delete icon appears disabled for past-dated blocks.

  • Hovering over the icon displays: “User does not have permission to delete past-dated blocks.”

• If the block is scheduled for today or a future date, deletion remains available with standard confirmation prompts.

• If the user has Add Past-Dated Blocks permission enabled, deletion of past-dated blocks becomes available immediately.

• If the user lacks both Add Blocks and Add Past-Dated Blocks permissions:

  • Delete actions are removed entirely.

  • Hovering over the disabled control displays: “The user does not have the appropriate permissions to delete blocks.”

Benefits

• Protects historical scheduling data from unintended modification.

• Enforces clearer separation of scheduling responsibilities through permissions.

• Reduces risk of accidental changes to past records.

• Supports compliance and audit requirements by preserving schedule history.

• Provides consistent, predictable permission behavior across scheduling workflows.
