Override Org Settings

In large organizations, a single set of org settings (from the Team / Settings menu in the Web Console) may not be suitable for all sandboxes. For example, the auto-suspension and retention policies for autonomous sandboxes may differ from those for developer-created sandboxes.

Org admins can define one or more settings override profiles. A profile can be selected in a template or sandbox definition, and its overrides are applied to all new sandboxes created from that template, or to a sandbox whose definition is updated directly.

Define a Settings Override Profile

Open the Settings Overrides tab from the Team / Settings menu and create a new profile. In the profile, define the override policies. The dialog includes instructions on how to apply the profile to templates and sandboxes.

Apply an Override Profile

In a template or sandbox definition, add the following to apply one or more profiles:

customizations:
- settings:
    overrides:
    - PROFILE_NAME

Multiple profiles can be listed. Override policies are merged in the order specified.
