Describe the feature you'd like

I want to prevent users from deleting themselve. Is this somehow possible?

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

As a Manager (also Admin) I don't want users not to be able to delete themselves from the bookstack wiki in order to make sure that all handovers are in place.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Not sure

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years

Additional context

No response

How would this feature work? Is it a kind of new role?

It should be possible for all users and not be role-bound. Everyone should be able to delete their own account. The posts should remain.
