How to use Override mode
Users with ESET Endpoint products (version 6.5 and above) for Windows installed on their machine can use the Override feature. Override mode enables users on the client-computer level to change settings in the installed ESET product, even if there is a policy applied over these settings. Override mode can be enabled for certain AD users, or it can be password-protected. The function can not be enabled for more than four hours at once.
Override mode cannot be stopped from the ESET PROTECT On-Prem Web Console when enabled. Override mode will be disabled automatically when the override time period expires. It can also be turned off on the client machine. The user who is using the Override mode needs to have Windows admin rights too. Otherwise, the user can not save the changes in settings of ESET Endpoint Security. Active Directory group authentication is supported. |
To set the Override mode:
- Navigate to Polices > New Policy.
- In the Basic section, type in a Name and Description for this policy.
- In the Settings section, select ESET Endpoint for Windows.
- Click Override mode and configure rules for override mode.
- In the Assign section, select the computer or group of computers on which this policy will be applied.
- Review the settings in the Summary section and click Finish to apply the policy.

Afterward, these new settings can be requested by ESET PROTECT On-Prem so the Administrator can create a new policy out of them. To do so, follow the steps below:
