Hide option to create Initiative under Epic

Question

We have recently added a custom hierarchy using an Advanced road map, which looks like the following:

Initiative> Epic> UserStory/Bug> Subtask

We have spotted Errors many times that we can create Initiative under Epic,

e.g.

* Once we create Epic and see that epic in the issue screen, There is a plus sign above comments and if we click on that we see all options(Issuetype) also can create initiative,
* A similar thing is happening for a User story, we can create one user story under another user story, which is not our requirement we can only generate subtask under the user story.

Really appreciate your help.

Thanks
