When a record is protected, what happens to the delete action?

When a record is protected, the delete action is rejected. This means that any attempt to delete such a record will not be successful, ensuring that valuable data is not lost unintentionally or without due consideration. Protection mechanisms are typically in place to maintain data integrity and safeguard against accidental loss or malicious actions.

In scenarios where data protection policies are enforced, the system is designed to prioritize the preservation of important information. By rejecting delete actions on protected records, organizations can ensure that they have more control over their data management processes. This feature can be critical in applications where data is subject to compliance regulations or requires a careful change management strategy.

Other options imply that the delete action is either allowed, merely logged, or subjected to an approval process, which does not reflect the typical behavior associated with record protection where deletion is strictly disallowed.
