Removing or stopping user access to ump usm state field

Issue/Introduction

USM views in 9.0.2 UMP is showing a "State" field that is causing many issues for users as they believe they can use it to set a server into maintenance to stop it alerting and so they do not put the server into a proper maintenance window and this creates many false alerts to the business

How can we remove this completely from our USM view or change the drop down so the users cannot select or update it

Here is a screenshot of the field in question:
