Which level of parameter assumes the highest precedence in BIG-IP ASM System processing logic?

Flow-level parameters are the most specific type in BIG-IP ASM, tied to a particular operation or transaction flow within an application, and override any conflicting definitions at URL, object, or global levels. When ASM encounters a parameter, it first checks for a matching flow-level definition before falling through to less-specific levels. This hierarchical approach allows granular security policy tuning for individual application workflows without affecting broader policy settings.

Object-level parameters apply to defined objects but rank below flow-level parameters in the ASM processing hierarchy.

Global-level parameters serve as the default baseline and have the lowest precedence, being overridden by URL, object, and flow-level definitions.

URL-level parameters apply to a specific URL and rank below flow-level parameters, which are more specific to individual operations within a given flow.
