from Manual: qm.conf: What does Protection do exactly?

[Danie de Jager]

Hi,

I'm busy harding a Proxmox Host and going through the settings I see "Protection" and in the help documents it states (and I've not been able to find anything on this subject. Is this purely so users cannot delete the VM until they turn this setting off?)

protection: <boolean> (default = 0)

Sets the protection flag of the VM. This will disable the remove VM and remove disk operations.

yes

This thing is not intuitive or documented (and I also looked for it arriving here), I think it is useful to add a "help" link to the documentation that specifies it as there is for other fields but not for this one.
