SUMMARY

Cloudstack users can delete their account accidentally and lock themselves from accessing the CloudStack panel. A link to an account placed next to ISO, template, VM and other entities in CloudStack's UI. If customers doesn't paying attention, they would click on the account link instead of the link to the entity they want (vm, template, ISO etc.) Then, if they had wanted to delete that entity, they would press delete button without realising they were on the account page, and press Confirm.

I'm suggesting to add an extra step before deletion. In that step users must write the account name, unless otherwise they can't confirm deletion. Github, like many other applications asks you to write down the entity's name before DESTRUCTIVE and UNRECOVERABLE actions.
