[Ci-users] Deletion of some jobs

Hello Zach,

mistakes happen - I would assume that the deleted jobs can be restored 
from backups, so it shouldn't be that dramatic.  Not sure if that means 
a regular user can delete jobs belonging to other users (I hope Brian or 
someone else can bring some light into this).

Best regards,
Laurențiu
