You cannot edit managed rulesets, but you can add overrides to managed rulesets deployed from the root ruleset. Overrides take precedence over the default behavior of the managed ruleset.

For more information on overriding managed rulesets, see override a managed ruleset.

The examples in the topics below use overrides to customize the behavior of managed rulesets.

• Use a category override to set WordPress rules to Block
• Use ruleset and category overrides to enable only Joomla rules
• Use ruleset and rule overrides to enable only selected rules
• Deploy a managed ruleset with ruleset, category, and rule overrides
