Adding and managing overrides on the Policy Overrides page


	NOTE: Policy Overrides can also be created and managed on the Auditing page by selecting specific audit events. See Auditing page for more information.


	NOTE: In cases where overrides have been disabled for a risk policy, the threat level will always be reported regardless of whether or not there is an override in place for the user.

Adding a policy override

When a user has failed to authenticate due to a high threat level, you can create an override to allow that user access to Security Analytics Engine protected applications for a specified period of time.


	IMPORTANT: To avoid allowing a malicious user access to an application, only create an override when you are positive the user is legitimate.

To add a policy override:

From the Home page, click Policy Override.

Click the Add Override button in the upper right corner to open the Add Override dialog.

In the User Name field, enter the name of the user to which the override applies.

For Browser ID, enter the browser ID for the user.

In the User Address field, enter the user’s IP address.

Click the

button to select the date the override will expire. By default, the next day is selected.

Click the Save button to save the override and close the dialog. The new override will appear listed on the Policy Overrides page.

Managing a policy override

From the Home page, click Policy Override.
