Limit who can mark as exception in Error Inspector

Using Pro 3.5.

Is there any way to limit who can Mark As Exception within the Error Inspector pane? We only want admin and supervisors to be able to mark topology/attribute rules as exceptions. Basic data editors, in this situation, should not have the authority to mark things as exception.

If the command ID for buttons within Error Inspector were visible, Error Inspector could be customized using ArcGIS Pro SDK.

No—ArcGIS Pro does not currently provide a built-in way to limit who can use Mark As Exception in the Error Inspector pane (for topology errors or attribute rule errors) based on a role (admin/supervisor vs editor).

What Mark As Exception does is update the stored error feature’s isException value (True/1), and Clear Exception sets it back to False/0: Manage attribute rule errors—ArcGIS Pro.

Practical workaround: If you're working with an Enterprise geodatabase, control it with data permissions, since marking an exception is an edit to the underlying error records. If editors only have read access to the error datasets/tables, they can review errors but won’t be able to mark/clear exceptions.
