Hi,

You can get the current logged in user from below link. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25476810/how-to-check-if-user-is-logged-on-not-member

Now, you can check if this user has permission and if yes then only allow trashing event.

Cheers,

Thanks for your response Shasishav

My final solution used the following code

private static bool PrincipleHasPermission(ApplicationContext context, ContentServiceEventAction eventAction )
     {
        // Taken from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35364220/get-current-user-in-umbraco-version-7-3-5 after trying
        // several more elegant approaches that just didn't work
        var userTicket = new System.Web.HttpContextWrapper(System.Web.HttpContext.Current).GetUmbracoAuthTicket();
        if (userTicket != null)
        {
            var currentUser = context.Services.UserService.GetByUsername(userTicket.Name);

            if (currentUser.IsAdmin())
            {
                return false;
            }
        }

        return true;
     }
 }

is working on a reply...
