How to stop the permission for not deleting comment on Confluence

Question

I want to set the permission for the comment can only be added but cannot be deleted, no matter the comment is created by me or anyone. So in Space Tools, I add comment only, but I did not check delete comment, not check delete own. However, the comment I created can still be deleted by myself. Isn't that strange? Or did I set up wrong for the permission? Plz help. TKS!

I thought I had read that when you give someone Add Comments it by default gives them the ability to delete their own comments. Which is confusing because you think you would have to check Delete comments.

I might be wrong but I thought that is what I read a while back. I will see if I can find that reference again.

Cho,

Did you find out what is causing this problem?  I am experiencing the same behavior with a test account (no admin privileges) while testing a Confluence upgrade.

Test user does not have delete own, or delete comment permissions but the account is still able to delete its own comments.

Thank you,

Matthew
