You can use Role Management to prevent record deletions for a module by a specific group of users.

If you want to prevent record deletion conditionally, you can follow this article https://enricosimonetti.com/powerful-customisations-with-sugars-acl/.

This way, "Delete" option would not be visible to users if your condition meets and you can prevent user from deleting a record from any of the platform - web, mobile, api.

Another simpler way is to use before_delete logic hook, check for the condition and prevent deletion by throwing sugar exception if condition meets. But in this approach, user would still see the "Delete" option but cannot delete the record and would receive a warning message (coming from sugar exception) upon delete.

You can check out the before_delete logic hook documentation here - https://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_8.2/Architecture/Logic_Hooks/Module_Hoo…

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.
