Why only "maint" role can delete Employee Profiles records?

[AnaBeatrizA]

I was trying to delete employee profile records and I saw that the delete acl for this table requires the "maint" role to perform this action. Does anyone know why only servicenow can delete it?

I changed the role to admin and I was able to delete, but I would like to understand what is the reason for this limitation.

Thank you, 

Ana

Thank You Ana for your reply!

I actually ended up to same solution as you proposed and ended up to do the record deletion and some updates to Employee Profile records with Fix Script where it is possible to skip maint role and run the script on specific application scope.
