Permanently deleting administrative objects
After you permanently delete administrative objects, those objects are no longer available within Brightspot. Before you permanently delete an archived administrative object, review the following impacts (which are incremental to the impacts described in Archiving administrative objects).
Impacts for restoring archived administrative objects
Dashboard
Impacts
Editors use the next available dashboard in the content hierarchy. (For example, you delete a dashboard assigned to an editor. The editor then sees the dashboard assigned to the role, if available.) If no other dashboards are configured in the hierarchy, editors see the system-level default dashboard.
Site
Impacts
A permanently deleted site loses the ability for domain-name resolution. To avoid loss of SEO rankings, and to prevent visitors' seeing errors about domain-name resolution, add site redirects as appropriate. For details, see Adding a site redirect.
Configurations using the deleted site are no longer applicable. For example, a workflow applied to a deleted site is no longer in force.

User
Impacts
The user's name no longer appears in various widgets, such as Recent Activity.
Role
Impacts
Editors may see an error message similar to
No accessible site! (java.lang.IllegalStateException). Before permanently deleting a role, assign all associated users a different role.Workflow
Impacts
Assets exit the workflow and return to draft status; they can be immediately published.
Content form
Impacts
New assets鈥擜fter permanently deleting a content form, roles associated with that form fall back to the default form for the underlying content type. For example, if you permanently delete a content form for articles, the roles configured for that form see the default content edit form for new articles.
Existing assets鈥�Brightspot continues to manage existing assets using the content form used to create them, even if the content form is deleted. For example, a content form
Existing assets鈥�Brightspot continues to manage existing assets using the content form used to create them, even if the content form is deleted. For example, a content form
