Securing Validation rule

I have a Validation Rule on a field. I dont want my users to go ahead and deactivate the rule.

I have tried to look into the help but I could only found security on fields but not on Validation rules.

 

How can I make sure that only Administrator can activate/deactivate the Validation rule?

 

Thanks in advance..

Only system administrators should have the Customize Application profile permission. Without this permission, users can't modify validation rules.

You should also make sure you have only granted the specific permissions required by job function. For example, standard users shouldn't be able to modify all data (which means delete anything), customize the application, or manage other users. I recommend you create custom profiles and assign those to your users.
