The **Attack Paths** page in BloodHound Enterprise surfaces findings. Each finding includes prioritization data such as exposure and impact metrics to help you focus remediation efforts where they matter most. Not every finding requires immediate remediation. Risk acceptance lets you acknowledge a finding as a known risk that your organization has reviewed and chosen to retain for a certain amount of time. Use **acceptance** when: * You have reviewed the risk and agreed to tolerate it for a defined period. * You are waiting for a change to complete, such as a retention window. Accepting a finding records that the risk is known and temporarily tolerated. Acceptance is not a fix. To reduce risk, you must remediate the underlying condition. Use **remediation** when: * You are ready to remove the risky condition. * You want posture trends to reflect actual risk reduction. ## Accept a finding Before accepting a finding, you must sign in to BloodHound Enterprise with a [role](/manage-bloodhound/auth/users-and-roles#user-role-definitions) that can accept attack path impacted principals. When you accept a finding principal: * It is still included in posture calculations. * It is hidden from the default principal table view for that finding. * The principal and related edges still appear in other analysis views, including **Explore** and **Posture**. In the left navigation menu, click **Attack Paths**. Expand the finding, open the menu to the left of the principal name (three vertical dots) and click **Accept**.

In the **Accept Attack Path** window, set the number of days for acceptance and click **Accept**. If you are accepting a finding while you wait for [data retention](/collect-data/enterprise-collection/data-retention#data-retention) settings to delete the associated data, set the duration based on that scenario. For example, for **Logons from Tier Zero Users**, set the duration to 7 days. A view of the accept attack path window that shows the duration setting

## Outcome After acceptance, the principal is hidden from the default principal table for that finding until you enable the **Accepted** toggle. The principal and related edges remain visible in the **Explore** and **Posture** pages. A view of a finding that shows the accepted toggle
