"Defining an Environment Variable" section on page
You must have network-admin user privileges to configure EEM.
Action statements within your user policy or overriding policy should not negate each other or
adversely affect the associated system policy.
An override policy that consists of an event statement and no action statement triggers no action and

An override policy without an event statement overrides all possible events in the system policy.
