# Excluding from coverage or duplication

This feature is only available in the [Enterprise plan](https://www.sonarsource.com/plans-and-pricing/#sonarqube-cloud-features).

As an organization admin, you can exclude specific files from code coverage analysis or duplication check at the level of the organization. It means that this analysis scope adjustment applies to all projects in the organization. However, they can be overridden at the project level in the UI or through analysis parameters set on the CI/CD host. For more information about setting your scope at the project level, see the [Introduction](/sonarqube-cloud/managing-your-projects/project-analysis/setting-analysis-scope/introduction.md) page in the [Analysis scope](/sonarqube-cloud/managing-your-projects/project-analysis/setting-analysis-scope.md) section.
