Hello! All this logic is managed by the findEntityAndCheckPermissions in the Content Manager.
To answer your question, the user of this role will be able to delete only Links that have been created by him.

A relation is automatically created (like the created_at and updated_at)
A field created_by exist

And what about all the information that was created before v3.1.0?

That’s a good question.
@alexandrebodin any insight on that?

Data that don’t have a creator can be edited by editors and admin not authors as an author can only edit its own content

@abdonrd You could always create migration in DB (update to set the created_by id) if you really need to but we decided that there was no right choice depending on user needs.
