+=======================
+Node Interface Override
+=======================
+
+Non-admins with temporary access to a node, may wish to specify different
+node interfaces. However, allowing them to set these interface values is
+problematic, as there is no automated way to ensure that the original
+interface values are restored.
+
+This guide details a method for temporarily overriding a node interface
+value.
+
+Overriding a Node Interface
+===========================
+
+In order to temporarily override a node interface, simply set the
+appropriate value in `instance_info`. For example, if you'd like to
+override a node's storage interface, run the following::
+
+  baremetal node set --instance-info storage_interface=cinder node-1
+
+`instance_info` values persist until after a node is cleaned.
