Spectrum protect : restrict possible actions of a backup administrator on source data(prevent erasure)

As the data privacy and security become a priority for our client, we need to improve Spectrum Protect product to enhance data privacy and security.
The aim of this RFE is to find a way so that a backup administrator (responsible of managing backed up data) has no way to delete the original data by scheduling a command to that system via the Spectrum Protect client scheduler .

    There are options inside the Backup/Archive Client to prevent CMD and Restore in Client Schedules and Client Actions, look for Schedcmddisabled, Schedcmdexception or Schedrestretrdisabled in the clients options reference.

    Removing Service Providers right to administer their environment sounds difficult.

    On the Client system erasure part, why not use the dsm.opt options that restricts what a scheduled command has the right to do? (Just restrict and only allow taking of backups from schedules).
