how to FORBID "delete forever" action from HUE UI?

Hi, I would like to forbid "delete forever" action in HUE. I want ALL users to use "move to trash".

I want completely remove "delete forever" action from UI interface.

This possibility is not present right now (except about the HDFS trash if you disable it).

What would be the use case?

Sorry I mis-read it! This seems like a good idea to me: https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/HUE-1472

Hi, the usecase is:

I've suddenly deleted 500 GB of data.

By default hadoop fs -rm moves data to trash.

"Delete forever" is extremely dangerous functionality. I want to block it. If somebody wants to delete something forever I want him to go to trash and do it explicitly.
