Managing privileges

Managing privileges

I see from other posts that there's some confusion about how to manage user privileges, and I also haven't found an answer to what I'm trying to do. Profiles, roles, etc are getting all jumbled for me.

I have added another User in my Professional version. So I have a paid version. He's a good fellow, so he won't do anything crazy like delete all my records. Still, I'd like to protect myself. So is there a way for me to give him access to all the records, give him permission to edit, but not delete anything?

I first started by giving him a Standard, Manager profile. But he couldn't see anything but his own records. Now I just switched him to Administrator CEO. Guessing he'll have full access now, but I'd still like to eliminate the ability to delete files.

By the way, what if I had chosen Standard, CEO? What's the difference?
