Device → Get Policy Overrides

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation retrieves policy override information for a specific device in the NinjaOne system. It is useful for scenarios where you need to check or audit the policy exceptions applied to a device, such as security or configuration policies that differ from the standard settings. For example, an IT administrator might use this to verify which policies have been overridden on a particular device to troubleshoot compliance issues or to document exceptions.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve policy overrides for a device by specifying its Device ID to audit security exceptions.
  2. Fetch policy override details to verify compliance status of a device before a security audit.

Properties

Name Meaning
Device ID The unique identifier of the device for which policy overrides are to be retrieved. This is a required input.
Request Options Optional settings to control the request behavior, including batching of requests, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and request timeout.

Output

JSON

  • policyOverrides - Array or object containing the policy override details retrieved for the specified device.

Dependencies

  • Requires NinjaOne API credentials (OAuth2) to authenticate and authorize API requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Device ID is correct and exists in the NinjaOne system; an invalid ID will cause errors.
  • Check network connectivity and proxy settings if requests fail or time out.
  • If SSL certificate validation errors occur, consider enabling the option to ignore SSL issues, but be aware of security risks.
  • Verify that the NinjaOne API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions to access device policy override data.
