Depending on their role permissions, both Administrators and users can delete objects. However, before an object can be deleted, you must review the Deletion Request warning, which outlines how deleting that specific object impacts other objects connected through relationships or references. 

User Account Requirements

The user must have Delete Object permissions to delete objects.
