## Block Closed-source and Open-source Models

1. You can quickly set global team policies to `Block all Unverified Private` and/or `Block all Non-Commercial Use` models.

**Verified Private**

Models that the provider does not train on your data.

2. You can also select individual models to exclude by clicking on the `Block models` button.

:::Paragraph{listStyleType="decimal" listRestartPolite="1" indent="2"}
By default, the list is filtered to only show models that you have not already blocked. You can filter on whether a model is already blocked, the Verified Private status, and the Commercial Use status.

## Block Custom Nodes

You can block any installed custom node similar to how you [Block Closed-source Models](docId\:C10xP-0Pq-NBg3lo0zD1U).

:::hint{type="success"}
**How enforcement works**

Workflows with blocked models or custom nodes will fail whether ran via the web application or from the Floyo API.

Loading a workflow that uses a blocked closed-source model (Partner Node) or other blocked custom node will show a "Blocked Nodes" alert listing the corresponding Partner Node your team has blocked.

Blocked open-source models will no longer appear in nor be available for selection in the model selectors.
