I want to delete or not show the “Delete” button on discussions so that users cannot delete them or if there is a permission that restricts deleting discussions.  
Thanks

Hi! Unless the user is owner or admin, it cannot remove a discussion.

We’ll need more context here to exactly understand what you want to restrict

Hi,

Thanks for your support. In the permissions, the owner role had the option to delete the messages in the discussions, by removing this permission, no user can delete the messages in the discussions.

Thank you for your collaboration.
