We’re expanding our data masking capabilities to include light agents.
This announcement includes the following topics:
What's changing?
Data masking lets you hide personally identifiable information (PII), such as names, email addresses, and phone numbers, from agents in custom roles and now light agents.
Masking helps protect sensitive data and supports compliance with regulations like GDPR. While the underlying data remains unchanged in the database, masked agents see only the information they need, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. This feature is currently available to Advanced Data Privacy and Protection (ADPP) customers.
What do I need to do?
No action is required. If you have the Advanced Data Privacy and Protection add-on, you can activate data masking in Admin Center. See Turning on and configuring data masking for more information.
