Data masking

Through data masking, you can hide potentially sensitive content from reviewers using Fusion. As data in dataset is processed, Fusion identifies items that contain grammar values for which data masking is configured. You can choose to mask all characters of the identified content or only a portion of the identified content. Masked characters display as an asterisk (*).

On the Manage Grammars page, a check mark icon displays in Masked column for grammar types and grammar rules for which masking is configured. A dark icon (dark grey check mark icon) indicates that masking is configured at that level. A dimmed icon (light grey check mark icon) indicates that masking is inherited from the level above.

The user's view of items containing masked data varies based on whether the user has permission to view masked content and on the type of masking configured. Users must have the Analyze > View masked content permission to view the original content without masking in Analyze and the Manage > View masked content permission to view the original content without masking in Manage.
