Hi!

I don’t want developers to be able to silence issues by marking them “false positive” or “accepted”. Goal is they will actually fix them. Is there a way I can I achieve it?

Hi @Jakub_Gladykowski,

To prevent developers from using the “false positive” or “accepted” labels, you can remove the “administer issues” permission.  
While these features may be useful in some cases, i recommend to limit access to this permission to a select few individuals and carefully monitor what is marked as “false positive”.

You can find more information in the documentation
