Can I set up Users to be able to delete their comments but *not* anyone else's?

I'm using 2.1.1 stable.

If I edit roles and check the boxes in the "delete" column for a sub category, that user can then delete anything in that category, even if they didn't author it.

What I'm looking for is users being able to delete their own comments, but not anyone else's. Am I just being stupid about permissions?

peregrine

$Configuration['Vanilla']['Comments']['AllowSelfDelete'] = TRUE;

Do not allow deletion for roles in Dashboard as this applies globally to all user comments and discussions, the config statement is for self deletion of comments, there is no self deletion for discussions, as this could impact other user comments in the discussion.

this option was added as of 2.1b2 - if you look at changelogs you can see new features and bug fixes.
