You definitely have a point there!

The Del-key action was merely to be conform with Windows standard GUI.

I agree it's much too simple to delete users, clients etc. Some form of protection must be active for those actions. For instance, why not simply allow all deleting actions (except files) only to the super user?

To remove all delete actions, except for files, from the GUI would be the best, and have the super user (or other trusted users] to delete them by using the CLI, just as you said...

Arrggh NOOOOOOO!

It's far too easy [for others] to delete clients/users/jobs as it is!

Until p4 protect is extended to restrict this sort of thing to trusted users only, I'd like to see all deletion functions REMOVED from the GUI!
