Exemptions

Device Exemptions in Glue

Device exemptions allow you to temporarily or permanently exclude certain devices from specific controls. This can be useful for compliance exceptions, or special use cases.

Accessing Device Exemptions

1. Navigate to Admin > Device Exemptions in the Glue admin console.

Adding a Specific Device Exemption

You can add an exemption for an individual device. This is useful when a single device needs to be excluded from controls.

1. Click Add Exemption.
2. Select the device you want to exempt.
3. Specify the reason and control.
4. Save your changes.

Creating Rule-Based Exemptions

Rules allow you to automatically exempt groups of devices that match certain criteria (such as device type, location, or other attributes).

1. Click Manage Exemption Rules
2. Click Add Rule.
3. Select the device query for the group of devices.
4. Set the exemption parameters (reason, exemption type, etc.).
5. Save the rule.

Best Practices

• Use specific exemptions for one-off cases and rule-based exemptions for recurring or group scenarios.
• Regularly review exemptions to ensure they are still needed.
• Document the reason for each exemption for audit purposes.
