You can create an Automated Action for this.  Full details: https://odootricks.tips/use-automated-actions-to-stop-users-archiving-products/

Model: Product Template

Trigger Condition: On Creation & Update

Before Update Domain: Active records

Apply On: Active is not set

Action to Do: Execute Python Code

Python Code:

if not env.user.has_group('sales_team.group_sale_manager'):
   raise Warning('You cannot archive products')

You can choose any user access group: sales_team.group_sale_manager is the Sales Manager group, but you can use whatever makes sense for your organization.

This should prevent users from archiving products from anywhere, including the export / import tool.  You could use this alongside Dishon's solution.
