Logging of issue bulk delete possible?

[DWedekind]

Is there any way to log when issues were deleted via bulk change and by which user?
As far as I know, it is only logged when single issues are deleted via the GUI.

Just another question: is there a way to prevent deletion via bulk update or to grant only admins this right?

Thanks for any hints in advance and merry x-mas...

Hello @DWedekind 

The permission to Delete Issues is one of the Permissions specified at the project level in the Permissions Scheme used by each project. Bulk Update should be adhering to those Permissions, but I don't have an environment in which I can test that (for Data Center).

A Jira Administrator should be able to modify the Permission Schemes to allocate that permission only to admins.

According to this resolved change request Jira DC is already capable of adding to the Audit Log information about deleted issues. You do have to enable that capablility.

Alternately an Automation Rule could be set up that uses the Issue Deleted trigger. The rule could then take actions to make note of information about the deleted issue. That information could be sent to admins via the Send Email action, or could simply be added to the rule execution log with the Log action. Rule execution logs do age off the system, though, so that would not be a permanent record.
