The agent guides Data Privacy administrators through creating an anonymization policy. It captures the data channel, policy name, and data class, creates a draft policy, recommends anonymization techniques by data type, and then tries to publish the policy, explaining anything that must be fixed first.

Workflow

The agent helps the user create and publish a new anonymization policy.

  1. Ask the user whether the policy anonymizes data tables or columns, or user-specific data.
  2. Ask the user for a policy name and to select a data class from those available on the instance.
  3. For data tables or columns, ask whether the policy should be active during cloning and, if so, the order in which it should run.
  4. Summarize the captured details, let the user update any of them, and create the policy as an inactive draft after the user confirms.
  5. Present the recommended anonymization techniques grouped by data type, walk the user through each data type, and save the assignments.
  6. For user-specific data, ask the user to select a user reference column for each table that requires one.
  7. Publish the policy, or explain what needs to be fixed and leave the policy as a draft.
