Exceptions
What are Exceptions?
Exceptions can be applied to Patterns so that certain users, devices, or browsers can bypass or skip Safeguards that would otherwise block a user.
Exceptions can be applied to allow users to skip safeguards for most activities including page visits, uploads, and downloads.
For example, you may have a certain policy blocking access to all freemium storage sites such as Dropbox, Box, Drive and OneDrive. An exception for Box would allow you to permit only certain employees to upload files Box.
Exceptions are applied directly to a Pattern.

Creating a Manual Exception
A manual exception can be applied to any Policy to allow users to bypass certain blocks a safeguards. Manual exceptions can be set on specific users, browsers, or profiles of users. Exceptions can also have an expiration so that you can temporarily allow access to a particular site or activity.
Creating an Exception Workflow
Keep Aware can be used to manage access requests for certain browser-based and web activities. Where most Keep Aware implementations will block threats and certain organizational risk, security teams can setup an exception workflow or access request workflow to allow users to request access to certain sites.
