Creating an identity privacy lookup policy

You can use the privacy policy editor to create an identity privacy lookup policy.

You can add a policy to a data access plan that includes a selection policy.

Before you can create a lookup policy, you must define an executor lookup data source.

To create a lookup policy:

  1. Expand a Data Access Plans folder for a logical data model package in the Data Project Explorer.
  2. Double-click the data access plan to include the policy.
    The data access plan editor opens.
  3. Click Data Privacy.
    The privacy policy editor opens.
  4. From the Policies area, do the following:
    1. Select a Platform that will process the policy.
    2. From the Policy list, expand Identity Privacy Policies and the policy category, and then click the policy.
  5. From the Attributes list, select the attribute to mask with the policy.
  6. Click Apply.
    The Add Policy wizard opens.
  7. Complete the steps of the wizard.

    You can use the properties area in the data privacy editor to provide a seed number from which the masked number is generated.

  8. Complete the steps of the wizard.
    • You must select a source attribute to provide the input value.
    • You must map the source attributes to the attributes bound to the policy.
    • You must select either the random or hash lookup option. If you select the hash option, you must do the following steps:
      • Select the attributes used to generate the hash value
      • Set the order for these attributes
    • If you choose a policy that uses a switch option, you must select a source attribute to provide the switch value.
You can use the properties area in the data privacy editor to do the following actions:
  • provide a seed number used to generate a value for selecting rows in the lookup table
  • specify the values to ignore when the hash value is generated
  • edit the regular expressions that determine the switch values
