hi Nitin - The capability you describe is not currently offered within Nexus IQ. As your CSE, I will represent this to our product team. My only caveat is to permit policy actions to be overridden to an increased level of enforcement only. ie

- No Action -\> Warn or Fail
- Warn -\> Fail

I have a few ideas about how you might mitigate the current situation. Please reach out and we can schedule time to discuss.
