Sperate switch upgrade under the same network/template

[AhmedJawad]

Hi all, 

  is there a way I can upgrade switches separately when they are under the same network/template? so if I have like 20 switches under the same network/template and 5 of them I don't have the approval to upgrade, can I ignore the upgrade for them?

You can stagger the switch upgrades using staged upgrades. But you can't just straight up exclude or ignore switches in they're in the same network or template.

@AhmedJawad if you set them all to upgrade a week or so in the future, you can then use the staged upgrades feature that @Ryan_Miles suggests to upgrade them in batches.  I believe if you leave the ones you don't want to upgrade in the last batch, you can then cancel that batch after the others have upgraded.  I don't think it is a supported option though...
