It’s common practice to override feature flag values for specific environments or for specific user groups. This might be done to enable feature testing, to analyse the effectiveness of a change, or to give early access to a preferred customer.

Feature flags work hierarchically. That is to say, where a feature flag is created at the business level, the flag’s value is automatically inherited in the environments and organizations within the business. But overrides can be applied if they are available.

1. Go to Releases > Feature flags.

2. Find the flag in the list.

3. Check the column indicating where overrides can be applied.

   

   If overrides are allowed, follow one of the below procedures.

When you apply an override in an environment, it will be applied to all users in the environment.

1. Go to Settings > Environment > Feature flags. All the feature flags are listed.
2. Find the flag you want to update and select Edit value. You can only do this if the flag value is editable.
3. In the Edit feature flag window:
   1. For Boolean flag types, select the new value and then select Save.
   2. For string or integer flag types, enter the new value and then select Save.
4. If you want to revert to the inherit default value, in the Edit feature flag window:
   1. For Boolean flag types, select the default value and then select Save.
   2. For string or integer flag types, delete the override value and then select Save.

When you apply a value override for an organization, it will be applied for all users in the organization.

1. Go to Organizations and select the organization. The Organization details window opens.
2. Select Feature flags. All the feature flags are listed.
3. Find the flag you want to update and select Edit value. You can only do this if the flag value is editable.
4. In the Edit feature flag window:
   1. For Boolean flag types, select the new value and then select Save.
   2. For string or integer flag types, enter the new value and then select Save.
5. If you want to revert to the inherit default value, in the Edit feature flag window:
