Content Filters - Allow Users to (Optionally) Override Domain-Level Filters
Idea shared by Jay Dubb - 12/14/2021 at 12:36 PM
Proposed
Domain admins set content filters-- some for user convenience, some for security.  Some users want different behaviors, but are not able to override the domain filter.  

For example:  Admin sets a Content Filter to send all email with SPAM-HIGH in the subject to the Junk Email folder.  For most users that is fine, but some want SPAM-HIGH messages put into a different folder or deleted.  

If a user sets up their own Content Filter for SPAM-HIGH messages, that rule is ignored.  ST Support confirmed this.

FEATURE REQUEST:  Allow user-created Content Filters to override Content Filters set at the domain level *IF* the admin allows.
 
Domain admins should be able to set an "Allow users to override" switch when creating a Content Filter.  This allows them to hard-enforce certain filtering domain-wide (by turning Allow Override OFF) while leaving some rules to user discretion (Allow Override ON).

Please UP-Vote if you agree.
