IT wants me to start enforcing retention and access policy on historical reports by end of day, and the policy we agreed is high-level. I can create access groups and expiry tags but fear accidental deletion or over-restriction. Recommend the conservative retention and access settings to apply now, list the report classes that must never be deleted without legal sign-off, and one notification to send to stakeholders explaining imminent changes. I will not permanently delete anything without confirmation.
