I have a workflow that uses terraform to provision an environment.

Terraform relies on state, and IF it’s process is interrupted, it’s configuration can become in an inconsistent state.

I have a user, who keeps forgetting that he shouldn’t cancel this job,… and does so regularly.

Is there anyway I can disable “cancel” for a specific build step (or user!)?
