[SOLVED] Erase button for admin-level users

Continuing the discussion from How can I reset a count:

Hi Chip,

Indeed, the best way to erase values is through the API:
$ NOW=$(date +%s)000
$ curl -i --header "Accept: application/json; indent=4" --header "X-Auth-Token: WVdWlng8FjhqBTYIBidEmSg79AYnfKmIBTxeZakY59qk9975EUFRxcPDRSS" -X DELETE http://things.ubidots.com/api/v1.6/variables/52fad51727a51435bf3b241e/values/0/$NOW

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "count": 21500
}
The reason we don’t have it visible in the front-end is because it would be very easy for non-technical users to erase data. We’re developing a new feature for user management; perhaps we could include an erase button for admin-level users once this is ready. Will put it on the table for product management. Thanks!
