The feature

Good morning Immich users and developers !
First of all, I would like to address a huge thanks to the devs for the awesome people sharing feature introduced in 3.2.0 then 3.3.0, I (and a lot of other users) had been waiting for a long time. I know the amount of work it required and I am very grateful for this.

Anyway, when I found out about the 3.3.0 release, I immediately updated and configured sharing with other family members and even achieved face-recognition-based assets sharing across all users via immich-pta and partner sharing. For this sharing to work correctly, every user obviously needed to merge their own people with the shared ones. So, I simply showed them all how to do and as it is relatively simple, I left them do it on their own. The problem is the following : my granddad didn't fully understand and merged the shared person with his own. I was of course able to just share it again and everything got back in order except person ID had changed (which broke my immich-pta, but not the problem here).

This is obviously not a big problem, but I just wanted to know if there was any way of making a shared person read-only (and if not if it would be possible to implement it), so the user I share it with has no way of changing its name or merging it (thinking about if you try to merge it, it tells you and do the opposite merge).

Thanks for any help
