Creating Recommendation Overrides

Create overrides for one or more Cloud Advisor recommendations.

You can customize recommendations for resources in specific compartments and for resources with certain tags by creating recommendation overrides. You can create up to 50 recommendation customizations, including overrides. To create an override, you must specify at least one compartment or tag.

In addition to the standard Cloud Advisor permissions, to use overrides on compartments, you must belong to a group that has the COMPARTMENT_INSPECT permission. To use overrides with tags, you must belong to a group that has the TAG_NAMESPACE_INSPECT permission. For more information, see Details for IAM without Identity Domains.
