Feedback request for Critical Sitecore Search Issue

Requested support to fix UI in Sitecore search that allows the deletion of the only API key. Once this key was deleted, the environment was not usable and support had to add the new API key which took a couple of weeks. To prevent this issue happening on Prod, requested that the UI should restrict deletion of the last API key.
