Hello, we are trying to create a Power App which allows users to create and edit entries. We are having problems though, because we want the ability to delete entries to be very limited. 

What is the best way to prevent users from deleting entries, while still allowing them to create/edit entries?

We are using a Model driven app based on a Database table

    @BermoItSupport In Security Role/s of those users, for the entity/table 'Quote Logs', you can set the Delete option to none.. but remember those who have these security roles. .won't be able to delete these records.. also you need to be careful of how you want to restrict deleting these records.. whether it is allowed to delete their own records.. or someone within business unit.. also it depends on what kind of an entity/table 'Quote Logs' is.. whether it's User/Team or Organisation wide 

    So in as per below screenshot.. the Child Table (Secondary) ' fourth circle (marked in Red Oval) is set to None for Security Role - Basic User

    There are so many factors one should look into when dealing with security roles so be sure where you are making changes..and have proper backup in place
