    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Problem Definition

      Currently Resolve Comment in inline comments is associated with the Create Comment permission. As a result, users can resolve comments that they may not have the authority to do, but have Confluence permission to do.

      If you remove the Space permission of Add Comment, then users cannot add or resolve comments.

      The Resolved comments aren't lost. You can go to > Resolved Comments and from there you can reopen resolved comments. However, this is a manual process.

      Suggested Solution

      Delete Comment permission is required to Resolve Comments.
      Or, those with edit permissions on the page can resolve comments.

      Workaround

      Remove Create Comment permissions.
