Is there a way to idenitfy which employee deleted a catalog item and when?

[CLW]

We had an incident recently where a few items were deleted from our catalog, and I have searched all the reports and can't figure out how to determine which employee deleted (not in trouble - just trying to prevent from happening again).

I need my employees to be able to edit item properties (add UPC codes, update prices etc.), but would like to prevent them from creating new items and/or deleting existing items, but I don't think this is an option (it looks like its all or none from the permissions screen). Anyone have a good work around for this???

TIA for the ideas!

@CLW One thing you could do as a safety measure is download your item catalog from the dashboard and save it away, maybe weekly or monthly.  The problem on these is to edit the one things requires that access, and it isn't a tracked action under reporting like discounts.

Thanks @Donnie-M! I actually do download and store our catalog regularly, which helps but it still causes extra work that could be mitigated by being able to restrict this access for employees altogether.
