We have several users that use a mapped drive to IFS to achieve part of their work functions.
Occasionally, a user will accidently move a subfolder (not related to their tasks) to another subfolder, either by accidently select cut/paste or by dragging.
This breaks production for another process.
Can this be prevented.
Reviewing QAUDJRN, the cut/paste does not appear.
We use menu security to control various options, and all objects are available to all users.

Thank You
