Purge Conflicts
In purging, a conflict is an exception condition with known resolution or resolutions. Purge uses the conflict framework to report problems that can be overridden in execution and possible resolutions.
In particular, purge allows you to preselect an override for the following conflicts:
• Downloaded to a workspace
• Shared to a project
* 
If a task fails with an exception, it cannot be retried.
Overrideable Conflicts
This section identifies additional overrideable purge conflicts. All conflicts—both overrideable and non-overrideable—that appear in the Task Console include an override option to skip the object should the user want to retry the purge job on the collection of objects. The SKIP resolution is handled by the Task Console application, which removes the object from the collection.
Non-Overrideable Conflicts
This section identifies the non-overrideable conflicts that may occur during a purge job.

It is highly likely that access rights do not allow users to modify baselines. Baselines often represent a business agreement between a customer and supplier and may not be modified for historical reasons. Event listening needs to change so that an object that is a member of a baseline can be deleted if the baseline is deleted as well.
