+
+Use the `--indirect_selection` flag to `dbt test` or `dbt build` to configure which tests to run for the nodes you specify. You can set this as a CLI flag or an environment variable. In dbt Core, you can also configure user configurations in [YAML selectors](/reference/node-selection/yaml-selectors) or in the `config:` block of `profiles.yml`, which sets default values for all projects.
+
+When all flags are set, the order of precedence are as follows. Refer to [About global configs](/reference/global-configs/about-global-configs) for details.
+
+1. CLI configurations
+1. Environment variables
+1. User configurations
+
+You can set the flag to: `empty`, `buildable`, `cautious`, or `eager` (default). By default, dbt indirectly selects all tests if they touch any resource you select. Learn more about these options in [Indirect selection in Test selection examples](/reference/node-selection/test-selection-examples?indirect-selection-mode=empty#indirect-selection).
+
+For example, you can run tests that only refer to selected nodes using a CLI configuration:
+
+<File name='Usage'>
+
+```shell
+dbt test --indirect-selection cautious
+```
+
+</File>
+
+For example, you can run tests that only refer to selected nodes using an environment variable
+
+<File name='Env var'>
+
+```text
+
+$ export DBT_INDIRECT_SELECTION=cautious
+dbt run
+
+```
+
+</File>
+
+For example, you can run tests that only refer to selected nodes using `profiles.yml` user configurations:
+
+<File name='profiles.yml'>
+
+```yaml
+
+config:
+  indirect_selection: cautious
+
