Preventing program deletion by others

I have another family member in my house with access to DirecTV stream. Unfortunately she has repeatedly “accidentally” or unknowingly deleted saved program before I was ready for them to be deleted. Is there a way to restrict someone’s access allowing them to view but not delete saved programs?

We know how important is to keep save your recordings. Let's take a look via PM if there is a way. Haendel, DIRECTV Community Specialist

Yes, it would be great, if there is a way to restrict someone for the deletion of already saved programs. This feature will enhance the usability of DIRECTV for users.

The problem is that the service does not support profiles. So every device uses the account holder credentials to access the service. As a result, access to the media library is available to all. Until the service support profiles, media protection is not available.
