# Configuring agent defaults

Configure agents to allow unprotected access to unknown resources instead of returning an error response.

## Steps

1. Click **Access**, then go to **Unknown Resources > Agent Defaults**.

2. Under the **Agent Default** header, specify the **Mode** that determines whether an agent should deny requests for unknown resources and generate an error response or allow requests to pass-through unfiltered.

   Individual agents might override this default setting.

3. Specify the default agent resource **Cache TTL (s)** (in seconds) to be used for unknown resources if you enable pass-through mode.

4. Click **Save**.
