Deployment Protection Exceptions are available on Enterprise plans or with the Advanced Deployment Protection add-on for Pro plans

You can use Deployment Protection Exceptions to disable Deployment Protection (including Vercel Authentication, Password Protection, and Trusted IPs) for a list of preview domains.

When you add a domain to Deployment Protection Exceptions, it will automatically become publicly accessible and will no longer be 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.
