Restricting Code Analysis Errors Suppression

Question

Hi All,

We do Code Analysis for our solution in VSTS. And of course, we suppress few errors as applicable. However, at this point anybody from my team (senior or junior) can suppress errors. Is there any way that I can restrict as to who can suppress?

Thanks in advance,
Pavan

Not without restricting who can commit source files within your project/solution.  Rather than attempting to restrict creation of suppressions, you may want to consider reviewing them on a regular basis.  While you could use Visual Studio's "find all references" functionality for this, the stand-alone version of FxCop offers a somewhat more convenient presentation of the suppression list, as well as detecting which suppressions are not required any more.
