Disabling users from being able to delete an Atlassian Team

[Julia Sears]

Hi, We are using Jira Software (Cloud) and very happy that Atlassian recently merged their 'Team' and 'Shared Team' fields into one new field: Atlassian Teams.  We use the Advanced Roadmaps (aka Plans) and the Teams field allows us to have cross-functional work where an Epic is driven by one team but the stories may be assigned across different teams in our Organization.

However - we have a challenge where the permissions to delete a Team is too open. Deleting teams is a big issue because:

• Atlassian does not have updates made to the Team field visible in the Audit log so we are unable to educate the user who made this mistake.
• Deleting a team is irreversible. We have to create a new team and bulk update issues. 

Is there a way to disable the "Delete Team" for users that do not have an admin role? In our research, we couldn't find this.  Thanks!

Hello @Julia Sears 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

As per the documentation there is currently no finer granularity on team management permissions. Any member of a team has all permissions to manage the team.
