Use Override mode
Users with ESET Endpoint Security for Android (version 2.1 and later) installed on their machine can use the Override feature. Override mode enables users on the client-device level to change settings in the installed ESET product for a set time, even if a policy is applied over these settings. After the set time, settings are reverted back to settings set by policies.
By default policy settings, ESET Endpoint Security for Android scans the device after the override session has ended. You can change this with the Scan device after override session.
