Hi Sundar,

It depends on your use case when and how you want to bypass.

For example, if you want to bypass the validation rule for specific profile then you can simply user $Profile but then you would do some hard coding and hence its best to use Custom Permission.

By Pass Validation using Custom Permission (https://www.salesforcechris.com/custom-permissions-in-validation-rules/#:~:text=Custom%20permissions%20can%20be%20referenced,without%20touching%20the%20rule%20again.)

If you want to bypass by record type then you can again make validation rule in such a way that it should not fire if specific record type exists. You can leverage custom setting to avoid hardcode.

Thanks,
Ashish Singh.
