Permissions on the recycle bin
The recycle bin is conceptually a folder like any else. It is special in the sense that all users must have write access (otherwise they will not be able to delete anything). Because there is one recycle bin for the data from all users, you should be careful granting everybody read access to the recycle bin, since they will then be able to see the data deleted by other users. We recommend only granting read access to administrators.
Only administrators are allowed to empty the recycle bin.
