In Fb2 ordinary users don't get access to the security database
except through an updatable view that allows them to modify their own
account. Delete privs and write privs on other users' accounts are
not available to the view.

No. Only the SYSDBA user can delete accounts, using GSEC with
the -database switch and a full path to the security database.
