Exclude users from data leak prevention policy

Hi everyone,

I've got 12 users on Remote Desktop server, Server 2012 R2, with Central Server Advanced installed. Enabled the default/baseline data leak prevention policy (within server policies) with restrictions they needed, works perfectly. I now need to exclude 2 users from that policy so they dont have any restrictions in place, i.e. bypass completely and can export data however they want. I created a 2nd policy, assigned the 2 users and tried enabled of "Use rules for data transfers" but not set any rules and I've tried it disabled thinking that either way it will pick up the users but not apply anything. Both ways dont work, they pick up the default/baseline policy and seem to ignore the other policy even though they are added to it. Obviously if I turn off the baseline policy then they can export but then all 12 users can too.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how this works and would really appreciate some advice, many thanks

  • Hi There, 

    Thank you for reaching us, Do you mean DLP policy? May I know what error you're getting to the said policy for those two user? Can you confirm what type of policy you made for both policies that you've created? was the existing policy uses computer base policy both of them using the same type since we have user base policy and computer base policy
