# Restrict message editing and deletion
|
|
|
|
{!admin-only.md!}
|
|
|
|
Zulip lets you separately configure permissions for editing and deleting
|
|
messages, and you can set time limits for both actions. Regardless of the
|
|
configuration you select:
|
|
|
|
* Message content can only ever be modified by the original author.
|
|
* Any message can be deleted at any time by an organization administrator.
|
|
|
|
Note that if a user can edit a message, they can also "delete" it by removing
|
|
all the message content. This is different from proper message deletion in two
|
|
ways: the original content will still show up in [message edit
|
|
history](/help/view-a-messages-edit-history), and will be included in
|
|
[data exports](/help/export-your-organization). Deletion permanently (and
|
|
irretrievably) removes the message from Zulip.
