# Override metric data

If the metric data provided by the data owner is inaccurate, then you can modify or override the metric data provided by the data owner.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_grc\_metric.admin, sn\_risk.admin, and sn\_compliance.admin

## About this task

After a metric data task is closed, the risk administrator can modify the metric data as needed. The risk administrator must provide a valid justification for modifying the data.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Risk** > **Risk Workspace** > **List** > **Metrics** > **My metric data tasks**.

2.  Open the record you want to modify.

3.  On the Metric information form, under the Metric input section, select the **Override Metric Data** option.

4.  In the **Overridden metric data** field, provide a new value.

5.  In the **Justification** field, provide a valid justification for overriding the data.

6.  In the **Additional comments** field, provide additional comments, if any.

7.  Select **Save**.


## Result

The metric data task value is overridden and the same value is updated in the metric data.
