Data Management:Adjust the sensitivity level of fields

Usage notes

After you adjust the sensitivity levels of fields, the following rules apply:

• When you query data on the SQLConsole tab, the Medium and High sensitivity fields on which you have no permissions are displayed as strings of asterisks (*) or in a custom manner.

• To query, export, or change Medium and High sensitivity fields, you must apply for the permissions on these fields.

• A database administrator (DBA) or DMS administrator can configure special approval processes for exporting or changing data that contains Medium and High sensitivity fields.

For more information about sensitivity levels, see Field sensitivity level.

Procedure

1. Log on to the DMS console V5.0.

2. In the top navigation bar, choose SQL Console > SQL Console.

   Note

   If you use the DMS console in simple mode, move the pointer over the icon in the upper-left corner of the console and choose All Features > SQL Console > SQL Console.

3. In the Please select the database first dialog box, enter a keyword to search for the database instance that you want to manage, select the database instance from the search results, and then click Confirm.

4. Adjust the sensitivity level of one or more fields. You can use one of the following two methods:

   • Right-click the name of the table that you want to manage and choose Sensitive Data > Security level adjustment. Adjust the sensitivity level of one or more fields and click Submit for Security Department Approval.

   • Click the icon in the upper-right corner of the database instance details page. Find the table that you want to manage and choose More > Security level adjustment in the Actions column. Adjust the sensitivity level of one or more fields and click Submit for Security Department Approval.

     Note

     • If you increase the sensitivity of the fields, the application is automatically approved.

     • If you lower the sensitivity of the fields, the application must be approved based on the specified process.
