Restrict movement of snapshots from one Team's Stream to other Team's Stream

To improve the access to the SCM Streams in same PA, we have a concept where the Visibility of Stream is set to a specific access group that can be accessed through access request. In this concept, the Visibility of each component should be inherited from the stream.

If a stream will be deleted, a snapshot will be created and it has to be assigned to another Stream.

To avoid that Snapshots from Stream with access group A will be assigned to a stream with access group B (Two different Teams) and the components inside the snapshot become visible for Team B, Delete stream permission is assigned to only 1 role "Central Config Manager" .

To use the concept, we need to forbid to move the snapshots to other stream too.

    The EWM Ideas Review board looked at this request and requests confirmation on the understanding of the request:
    1. User has a stream which is visible to AccessGroup1. Likely a small group has visibility to the stream.
    2. When you try to delete the stream, it gives you an option to create snapshot for the stream and parent it to another stream. This way you can get it back later if needed. But when you select the stream for associating snapshot, it can have any visibility. That would mean that someone who did not have access to stream earlier may be able to access the snapshot now.
    We are unclear about the statement "Delete stream permission is assigned to only 1 role 'Central Config Manager'."

    From our initial understanding, we think that the behavior being requested is - if stream being deleted has visibility limited to an access group, and the stream being parented-to has accessibility to a different access group or project area/team area, then a warning should be given to the user.
    Request confirmation and clarification on expected behavior.
