Overriding Inherited Classifications

Even if you define an object subtype as having classification by inheritance for a particular hierarchy level, Definers can override that classification for any object of that subtype.

Definers can also change the classification back to a classification by inheritance. The object then is automatically classified to its container's classification value for the hierarchy level.

Note:

Top-level Domains cannot have inherited classifications. To enforce this at the subtype level, set Reference Allowed to No for Domains. If you are using nested Domains and you want child Domains to be able to inherit classification values from their parent Domain, you may want to create an additional subtype for Domains. For example, create subtype Top-Level Domain where no referencing is allowed, and subtype Child Domain where referencing is allowed for all classification levels.
