Is there an option to delete protect Feature Service from Server Manager?

Hello GIS friends,

Good morning and a happy New Year to you all!

Is there an option to delete protect feature service from Server Manager?

I'm aware there is delete protect of Feature Service from the Portal, but an option to also protect Feature Service from being accidentally deleted from the Server Manager is utterly important.

Thank you'
Abi

I actually don't think there is, at least not natively in Server Manager. This article from ESRI seems to indicate that if your service is a dedicated instance and you enable schema locking, it should prevent deleting but in my experience it definitely does not:

I like the article you linked. Thank you.

I will put this in ArcGIS Ideas. I think delete protect option for feature services from ArcGIS Server Manager will save a lot of headache trouble.
