Restrict users from bulk editing contacts or companies

There is a way to keep users from bulk deleting contacts, but I do not see a way to limit the ability for users to bulk edit.  For instance, we use a "drop down menu" selection with a list of tags/keywords.  We do this because I cannot find a tag function anywhere, but that is for another post:).  It is a viable workaround for us.  The issue is, if you bulk edit, and choose "replace" instead of "append" value, then all of the other tags dissapear.  I am sure there are other reasons for wanting to restrict it, but this is ours.  Thanks for listening.

My situation is a bit different, but is related.

 

We have restricted the Contact Owner property to only be editable by specific users and teams. However, any user is still able to select (individually or in bulk) contacts and use the "Assign to" option to edit or clear Contact Owner, even if their user/team is not assigned access to the property.

 

In my opinion this is a major oversight that pretty much renders the ability to assign Contact Owner access useless.
