Editor permissions without delete function
Recently, we had a user delete a very important and large folder that housed 1.4 TB of client data. We have looked into changing permissions for all users to Viewer Uploader from Editor to prevent this from happening again, but this also takes away the ability to MOVE files/folders as well. We would like there to be an option for a role to be introduced that would allow users to have all functions of Editor just WITHOUT the ability to delete.

Please add a role that has the same permissions as "Editor" except that new role should not be able to delete files. There is a need for users to edit file names but they should not be ever allowed to delete the files themselves. File retention policies only allow for deleted files to be moved to Trash and recovered. That causes friction and compliance issues. The user must not be able to delete files

This simple option is specially relevant if you have a collaboration where users do a lot of upload, download, edit, etc... but shouldn't delete anything (by mistake or bad intentions)

Please remove delete function from editors. Users constantly delete things accidentally and we admins need to constantly restore them in a panic.
