How can I delete a family member and ensure they can no longer login or edit details

As a test I added in a brother, invited him to use family echo and gave Edit capabilities.

I then logged in as that person and edited my own biographical details.

Next: I logged in as myself and deleted the "brother" that I had created.

Very surprised to find that I could still login as the "brother" and continue to edit details.

Is there anyway to either disable Edit capability for someone or deleting them so that they can no longer login and edit details?

Thank You

Yes answering this myself, I scrolled and found this or similar questions have been asked before.

There is no capability to restrict or remove edit permissions once given.

I would have thought the "The Founder" of a family tree should have the capability to remove Edit consent if someone should start doing stupid things with family members on the tree.

Please Family Echo add this capability in. Thanks
