Guardrail Application Priority

Guardrails can be set at multiple layers. Rather than only one applying by priority, guardrails from all layers are combined (union) and applied together.
Global guardrails can also be managed in Code Gateway. If you turn off Inherit global guardrails at the organizational unit level, that OU is not affected by global guardrails — see Organization management.
