Retire Open Collectors

Administrators with Open Collector permissions, but lacking access to associated components like Beats or Log Sources, are unable to retire objects unless granted all necessary permissions.
If an administrator possesses Open Collector permission but lacks permission for linked log sources, they cannot grant Retire Open Collector permission to prevent log source retirement. In such cases, the Retire option is unavailable, and an insufficient permissions message is displayed.

Users can retire Open Collectors in two ways in Web Console:

1. From the Open Collectors Grid

2. From the Inspector Window of Open Collector
