+!!! warning "Admin Protection"
+
+    The system includes safeguards to prevent you from locking yourself out
+    of the API by removing all admin users.
+
+    When using the API directly, the system prevents the last remaining admin
+    user from deleting **themselves**.
+
+    When using the CLI (`api-admin user delete`), the CLI prevents deletion

+    To delete an admin user, you must first ensure there is at least one
+    other admin user in the system.
