Description

We frequently deploy TREs for development alongside our production TRE, which comes with the risk that we may accidentally delete the production TRE if we're in the wrong terminal session when we type the deletion command. It would be great if the management and core resource groups could be locked against accidental deletion once they're deployed, with a flag in the config file to say if you want it locked or not.

I imagine that can be done without impeding the operation of the TRE. Any thoughts?

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the configuration handling and deployment entry points for the management and core resource groups, then determine how an optional deletion-lock setting can be applied. Done means the setting controls whether those groups are locked while normal TRE operation continues, with coverage for both enabled and disabled configurations.
