Pipeline validation is a powerful tool for testing your Pipelinesfetches a sampling of real data, which the Designer displays in Snap data previews. However, in a production environment, pipeline validation might not be practical for heady heavy workloads because of the it requires extra time for validation. Also, because pipeline validation uses a sampling sample of input data for data real data to create a preview, some organizations might want to disable validation to prevent that data from being visible.

Org admins can disable validation at the Org level, in Manager settings, as described on this page, or with Admin Manager.

When disabled from the IIP Manager, users can override the setting at the Project level as described below.
