Force closures don't ask for approval. There's nothing you can do to stop a force close. It's a function of the lightning network and nothing to do with Umbrel.
Most force closes happen because your peer (or you) becomes unresponsive while an HTLC is in flight. This HTLC then has to be 'settled', meaning the channel gets force closed so the payment can be settled on-chain.
