Deployment Protection Exceptions

Deployment Protection Exceptions let you disable Deployment Protection (including Vercel Authentication, Password Protection, and Trusted IPs) for a list of preview domains.

Deployment Protection Exceptions are available on all plans at no additional cost.

When you add a domain to Deployment Protection Exceptions, it becomes publicly accessible and is no longer covered by Deployment Protection features. When you remove a domain from Deployment Protection Exceptions, the domain becomes protected again with the project's Deployment Protection settings.

Deployment Protection Exceptions is designed for Preview Deployment domains. If you wish to make a Production Deployment domain public, see Only Production Deployments.
