Can I disable or remove the [delete] button of the mine node?

Hi @chiche

no, a node cannot stop the user from deleting it.

Can I ask why you want this?

Thanks!! Some of my nodes are [Global configuration nodes] so I don't want users to delete them

If a user decides not to use your nodes anymore what do they do?

On my system, these nodes are the default. If the user doesn't use it then they can't do anything with other operations, the user also cannot edit the config values
